Series: In Search of Lost Time

Brilliant reception for the hardcover edition

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 enjoyable 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.

Reviews for In Search of Lost Time: Volume 4: Sodom and Gomorrah

Poetic, even transcendant . . . John Sturrock is pitch-perfecta] equally at home with its intimacies and its bitter comedy. (Frank Wynne, The Irish Times )
