ISLT VL 2 In the Shadow of Young Girls In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower (Penguin Modern Classics)

An English translation of the French original.|Marcel Proust (1871-1922) is generally viewed as the greatest French novelist and perhaps the greatest European novelist of the 20th century.|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.
