Proust soars beyond mere philosophy into the realm of finitude with all its agony. As he says, "we will perish, but we have for hostages these divine captives who will follow us and share their ...             Sodom and Gomorrah: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 4 (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Marcel Proust Penguin Classics, 2005 Thank you, Penguin Sturrock justifies the editor's (Prendergast's) decision to include him in his lineup of translators. The English (as is the case with the preceding Penguin volumes of In Search of Lost Time) feels fresh, contemporary, and natural, never stilted or forced. Idioms and ...             Remembrance of Things Past: Volume I - Swann's Way & Within a Budding Grove (Vintage) Marcel Proust Vintage, 1982 Learning to swim-- my first Proust reading experience Some time ago, I received the Vintage three-volume box set version of Remembrance as a gift. I had rashly mentioned to a friend that I wanted to read Proust and he took me at my word-- the heavy set arriving by mail and scaring me half to death. It took me a long time ...             Swann's Way: In Search of Lost Time, Vol. 1 (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Marcel Proust Penguin Classics, 2004 Proust's overture to his life's symphony Here, in the first volume of "In Search of Lost Time," are the overture and prelude to Proust's symphony. We meet the narrator as a child, sickly, a bit pampered, unable to sleep, and desirous of his mother's attentions and affection--an opening scene memorably mocked ...             In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower: In Search of Lost Time, Vol. 2 (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Marcel Proust Penguin Classics, 2005 In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower This translation is an impressive achievement if you can get over its two main deficiencies: its overly liberal use of British slang, and slight but noticeable change in Proust's word order. Like Robert Fagles' translations of Homer, Grieve has written a rather ...             In Search of Lost Time: Proust 6-pack (Proust Complete) Marcel Proust Modern Library, 2003 For Amateur Literati This is a review by an amateur reader for amateur literati. I'm 71. I am not taking a college literature class (although I am college educated and have an M. D. degree, if that means anything); I'm not a professor, and I don't hang out in book clubs. Lately, after ...             Time Regained: In Search of Lost Time, Vol. VI (Modern Library Classics) (v. 6) Marcel Proust Modern Library, 1999 Literary peerlessness "Time Regained" is a dark ending to the "In Search of Lost Time" cycle, as Proust, sickly like his fictional narrator, unknowingly nears the end of his own life but senses its imminence. France, like the most of the rest of the world, is now a very different place. ...             In Search of Lost Time Volume IV Sodom and Gomorrah (Modern Library Classics) (v. 4) Marcel Proust Modern Library, 1999 a splendid translations of my favorite volume thus far This book is misleadingly shown under the series title. It is actually "Sodom and Gomorrah" as translated by John Sturrock, and is volume five of the new "Penguin Proust" translations of "In Search of Lost Time". Of the four Penguin Proust volumes I've read so far, ...             The Guermantes Way: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 3 (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Marcel Proust Penguin Classics, 2005 Proust knows the way I've come to Proust quite late. I tried to read Remembrances many years ago but couldn't get my head around the extended sentences liberally convoluted with parenthesis. Recently I took another plunge and a different approach. I realized that to read Proust is a ...             Remembrance of Things Past: Volume II - The Guermantes Way & Cities of the Plain (Vintage) Marcel Proust Vintage, 1982 The Best Work of "Fiction" I've Ever Read Moncrieff/Kilmartin's translation is still the best. Proust's life-work is the most psychologically acute novel ever written, and a perfect match between form and content. His form is the memoir, conceived as a piece of music, with themes and variations, codas and ...             Finding Time Again (In Search of Lost Time 6) (v. 6) Marcel Proust Penguin Classics, 2003 again, a misleading heading Though it bears the title of Proust's seven-volume masterpiece, this is actually just the final volume, called "Finding Time Again" in this new translation. This particular book would be the British paperback edition, for the American press run has so far only given us ...             Swann's Way (Dover Thrift Editions) Marcel Proust Dover Publications, 2002 Both a psychological self-portrait and a profound meditation upon the artistic process, Proust's seven-part masterpiece In Search of Lost Time changed the course of twentieth-century literature. Swann's Way, the first volume, introduces the novel's major themes and the narrator, a sensitive man drawn in his youth to fashionable society. Its ...             The Captive & The Fugitive: In Search of Lost Time, Vol. V (Modern Library Classics) (v. 5) Marcel Proust Modern Library, 1999 The Prisoner / The Fugitive This is volume five of the superlative new translation of "In Search of Lost Time," containing the two books of the Albertine cycle, which are now titled "The Prisoner" (translated by Carol Clark) and "The Fugitive" (tr. Peter Collier). Though I haven't yet read their ...             In Search of Lost Time, Vol. III: The Guermantes Way (v. 3) Marcel Proust Modern Library, 1998 High Society In the previous two volumes of IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME, we have seen the young Marcel fantasize about love (in the persons of Gilberte and Albertine) and high society (in the person of the Duchesse de Guermantes). The bulk of THE GUERMANTES WAY's 819 pages is concerned ...             Days of Reading (Penguin Great Ideas) Marcel Proust Penguin (Non-Classics), 2009 Exquisite When Swann gives the Narrator a pamphlet by Bergotte in "Swann's Way", don't you wish you too could read that pamphlet, which you are certain contains the most elegant insights beautifully phrased?
