Proust Marcel The Guermantes Way
In The Guermantes Way Proust's narrator recalls his initiation into the dazzling world of Parisian high society. Looking back over his time in the glamorous salons of the aristocracy, he satirises this shallow world and his own youthful infatuation with it. His observations, and his experiences with his lover Albertine, also educate him in the volatile nature of desire as he walks the path towards adulthood.

Proust Marcel Le Côté de Guermantes
LES GRANDS TEXTES DU XXe SIECLE Le Narrateur est entre dans le monde magique des Guermantes, dont le nom, enfant, le faisait rever lors de promenades a Combray. Voisin de leur hotel particulier parisien, il cultive son amour pour la duchesse «aux yeux ensoleilles d’un sourire bleu» et son amitie pour son neveu Robert de Saint Loup, alors cantonne dans sa garnison de Doncieres. Ce sejour au milieu de ces jeunes officiers compte parmi les episodes les plus gais et les plus heureux de la Recherche. Dans les salons de madame de Villeparisis, Guermantes elle aussi, il retrouve les foucades enigmatiques du baron de Charlus, figure majeure de cette «race altiere». C’est l’epoque ou Marcel va connaitre la plus grande douleur de sa vie: la maladie et la mort de sa grand-mere, jusqu’au dernier frisson, au dernier murmure de son agonie, sans doute les plus belles pages, merveilleuses et cruelles, de l’?uvre. Cet ouvrage rassemble : Le Cote de Guermantes I, Le Cote de Guermantes II

Proust Marcel Le Côté de Guermantes
Les Guermantes n'etaient pas seulement d'une qualite de chair, de cheveu, de transparent regard, exquise, mais avaient une maniere de se sentir, de marcher, de saluer, de regarder avant de serrer la main, par quoi ils etaient aussi differents en tout cela d'un homme du monde quelconque que celui-ci d'un fermier en blouse. Et malgre leur amabilite on se disait : N'ont-ils pas vraiment le droit, quoiqu'ils le dissimulent, quand ils nous voient marcher, saluer, sortir, toutes ces choses qui, accomplies par eux, devenaient aussi gracieuses que le vol de l'hirondelle ou l'inclinaison de la rose, de penser : " Ils sont d'une autre race que nous, et nous sommes, nous, les princes de la terre. " " Proust est quelqu'un dont le regard est infiniment plus subtil et plus attentif que le notre, et qui nous prete ce regard, tout le temps que nous le lisons. Et comme les choses qu'il regarde (et si spontanement qu'il n'a jamais l'air d'observer) sont les plus naturelles du monde, il nous semble sans cesse, en le lisant, que c'est en nous qu'il nous permet de voir... Vous etes extraordinaire, mon cher Proust ! Il semble que vous ne parliez que de vous, et vos livres sont aussi peuples que toute La Comedie humaine... " Andre Gide

Proust Marcel Swann's Way
In Swann's Way, the first of seven books that make up Proust's masterpiece Remembrance of Things Past, the narrator bites into a madeleine cake dipped in tea and memories of childhood come flooding back. From the anxieties of youth to the swirl of jealousies and I intrigues surrounding family friend Charles Swann, Proust presents a river of elegant allusions, sensual impressions, teasing ironies, lovingly evoked descriptions, subtle and witty digressions, and penetrating insights into the characters. Remarkable for its richness and its refusal to be rushed, Swann's Way is a virtuoso performance by one of the true masters of the written word.

Proust Marcel Swann's Way
The definitive translation of one of the greatest French novels of the twentieth century In the opening volume of Proust's great novel, the narrator travels backwards in time in order to tell the story of a love affair that had taken place before his own birth. Swann's jealous love for Odette provides a prophetic model of the narrator's own relationships. All Proust's great themes - time and memory, love and loss, art and the artistic vocation - are here in kernel form.

Proust Marcel In Search of Lost Time. Volume 1. The Way by Swann's
One of the greatest, most entertaining reading experiences in any language, Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time Vol. 1: The Way by Swann's is published in a new translation from the French by Lydia Davis in Penguin Classics. The Way by Swann's is one of the great novels of childhood, depicting the impressions of a sensitive boy of his family and neighbours, brought dazzlingly back to life by the famous taste of a madeleine. It contains the separate short novel, A Love of Swann's, a study of sexual jealousy that forms a crucial part of the vast, unfolding structure of In Search of Lost Time. This book established Proust as one of the greatest voices of the modern age - satirical, sceptical, confiding and endlessly varied in his responses to the human condition. Since the original pre-war translation Remembrance of Things Past by C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin, there has been no completely new rendering of Proust's French original into English. This translation brings to the fore a more sharply engaged, comic and lucid Proust. As the great story unfolds from its magical opening scenes to its devastating end, it is this Penguin Classics edition of In Search of Lost Time that makes Proust accessible to a new generation. Marcel Proust (1871-1922) is generally viewed as the greatest French novelist and perhaps the greatest European novelist of the 20th century. He lived much of his later life as a reclusive semi-invalid in a sound-proofed flat in Paris, giving himself over entirely to writing his masterpiece In Search of Lost Time (A la recherche du temps perdu).

Scott Moncrieff's famous translation from the 1920s is today regarded as a classic in its own right and is now available in three volumes in Penguin Classics.

In the two novels - The Captive and The Fugitive - contained in this volume, Proust's narrator is living in his mother's apartment in Paris with his lover, Albertine.

Proust Marcel The Mysterious Correspondent. New Stories
New writing from the literary master Throughout Proust’s life, nine of his short stories remained unseen – the writer never even spoke of them. Perhaps he was not ready to share the early themes he was nurturing for his masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time. Or perhaps, in dealing directly with gay desire, they were too audacious – too near to life – for the censorious society of the time. In these stories, published in English for the first time, we find an intimate portrait of a young author full of darkness, complexity and melancholy, longing to reveal himself to the world.
