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 book is translated by a different, superb translator working under the general editorship of Professor Christopher Prendergast, University of Cambridge.
Marcel Proust (1871–1922) was a French novelist best known for his monumental work In Search of Lost Time (À la recherche du temps perdu), published in seven volumes between 1913 and 1927. This masterpiece explores themes of memory, time, love, and art through the narrator’s reflections on his own life and society. Proust's highly introspective style, deep psychological insights, and unique prose have made him one of the most influential writers in modern literature. His work is noted for its detailed observations, exploration of consciousness, and contributions to the modernist movement.
