Read [ebook] (pdf) In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust

On the surface a traditional Bildungsroman describing the narratorâ€™s journey of self-discovery, this huge and complex book is also a panoramic and richly comic portrait of France in the authorâ€™s lifetime, and a profound meditation on the nature of art, love, time, memory and death. But for most readers it is the characters of the novel who loom the largest: Swann and Odette, Monsieur de Charlus, Morel, the Duchesse de Guermantes, FranÃ§oise, Saint-Loup and so many others â€” Giants, as the author calls them, immersed in Time. In Search of Lost Time is a novel in seven volumes. 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 kept adding 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 in draft form at the death of the author; the publication of these parts was overseen by his brother Robert.For this authoritative English-language edition, D. J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartinâ€™s acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieffâ€™s translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of Ã€ la recherche du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the BibliothÃ¨que de la PlÃ©iade in 1989).
