About This Item

Franklin Library Edition, 1983. This Special Edition of Swann's Way by Marcel Proust, 1983. Quarter bound leather binding boards/gold design. Very Good/No dj as issued. Proust's fundamental triumph in Swann's Way is in reconstructing his own past in such detail. He recreates the rhythm and events of his childhood so vividly that we recall on our childhood reading him. This is due more to emotional texture presented than to any discrete events. Quarter Bound Leather .High quality paper, pages that are sewn not glued into the binding. Gold gilded page edges on all three sides. Raised spine bands that give each book that distinctive antique look. There are marbled end papers with a sewn in matching satin bookmark. The pages are gold gilt. There are marbled endpapers with a sewn in matching satin bookmark. The pages are gold gilded.

Synopsis

Since the original prewar translation there has been no completely new rendering of the French original into English. This translation brings to the fore a more sharply engaged, comic and lucid Proust. IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME is one of the greatest,most entertaining reading experiences in any language. As the great story unfolds from its magical opening scenes to its devastating end, it is the Penguin Proust that makes Proust accessible to a new generation. Each volume is translated by a different, superb translator working under the general editorship of Professor Christopher Prendergast, University of Cambridge.
