Description
Published in three stunning volumes, this is the first part of Marcel Proust's masterpiece, a profound reflection on art, time, memory, self and loss. The novel follows its narrator's experiences as he grows up, falls in love and lives through the First World War.
Translated by C. K. Scott Moncrieff, this edition is considered a classic in its own right and is now available in Penguin Classics. The translation is renowned for its vivid portrayal of Belle Époque France and is often praised for its literary merit.
This first volume includes Swann's Way and Within a Budding Grove, offering a glimpse into the world of Proust's creation. If you're new to Proust, Scott Moncrieff's translation is a great starting point, and if you're familiar with the author, this edition is a must-have for its beautiful design and faithful translation.
