Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time is one of the most entertaining reading experiences in any language and arguably the finest novel of the twentieth century. But since its original prewar translation there has been no completely new version in English. Now, Penguin Classics brings Proust's masterpiece to new audiences throughout the world, beginning with Lydia Davis's internationally acclaimed translation of the first volume, Swann's Way.

Review:

"One of the great pieces novels of the twentieth century, rescued by Lydia Davis?s mesmerizing new translation. Sentence by sentence, it will change your life." Tin House magazine

Review:

Indispensable... the crucial modernist work, overtopping the books of even such giants as Joyce and Mann. (Peter Brooks, The New York Times Book Review) A sensitive and direct translation... Lydia Davis does us a great service in bringing us back to Proust. (Claire Messud, Newsday)

Synopsis:

New audiences are introduced to what has been called the finest novel of the 20th century with this new translation. "A sensitive and direct translation, one that will enable us to discover, or rediscover, the joys of the novel."--Charles Messud, "Newsday."

Why not do something you always told yourself you would? And why not in the latest, most excitingly lucid translation? You will thank yourself, and experience something near bliss when you enter the moment through the door of the madeleine.
