Pages clean. ***385 pages plus a page of Acknowledgments and a publisher's advert at the back of the book. 203mm x 130 mm. ***'"Marcel Proust's Search for Lost Time" is an accessible, irreverent guide to one of the most admired novels in literature. With its seven volumes, three thousand pages, more than four hundred characters, and towering literary reputation, Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past" can seem daunting. But, though begun a century ago, in 1909, it is in fact as engaging and relevant as ever, and an outrageously bawdy and extremely funny book. Patrick Alexander makes it more approachable through this user-friendly tour of the marvelous world of Proust. (Quote taken from the back cover) ***'"In Search of Lost Time", first translated into English as "Remembrance of Things Past", and sometimes referred to in French as "La Recherche" (The Search), is a novel in seven volumes by French author Marcel Proust. This early 20th-century work is his most prominent, known both for its length and its theme of involuntary memory. The most famous example of this is the "episode of the madeleine", which occurs early in the first volume. The novel gained fame in English in translations by C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin as "Remembrance of Things Past", but the title "In Search of Lost Time", a literal rendering of the French, became ascendant after D. J. Enright adopted it for his revised translation published in 1992. "In Search of Lost Time" follows the narrator's recollections of childhood and experiences into adulthood in the late 19th-century and early 20th-century high-society France, while reflecting on the loss of time and lack of meaning in the world. The novel began to take shape in 1909. Proust continued to work on it until his final illness in the autumn of 1922 forced him to break off. Proust established the structure early on, but even after volumes were initially finished, he continued to add new material and edited one volume after another for publication. The last three of the seven volumes contain oversights and fragmentary or unpolished passages, as they existed only in draft form at the death of the author; the publication of these parts was overseen by his brother Robert.' (Wiki) ***A fifth impression of this invaluable guide to Marcel Proust's masterpiece "Remembrance of Things Past" originally entitled "In Search of Lost Time". Uncommon in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
