Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin’s acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieff’s translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of À la recherche du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).“Twice amended to bring it to documentary decorum and the kind of textual completion Proust himself could never achieve, the C. K. Scott Moncrieff translation of the\u003ci\u003e Search\u003c\/i\u003e, buffed, rebuffed, lightened, tightened, and in the abstergent sense, brightened, constitutes a monument which is also a medium—\u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e medium by which to gain access to the book, the books, even the apocrypha of modern scripture. A triumph of tone, of a single (and singular) vision, this ultimate revision of the primary version affords the surest sled over the ice fields as well as the most sinuous surfboard over the breakers of Proustian prose, an invaluable and inescapable text.” —\u003cb\u003eRichard Howard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarcel Proust\u003c\/b\u003e was born in the Parisian suburb of Auteuil on July 10, 1871. He began work on \u003ci\u003eIn Search of Lost Time\u003c\/i\u003e sometime around 1908, and the first volume, \u003ci\u003eSwann’s Way, \u003c\/i\u003ewas published in 1913. In 1919 the second volume, \u003ci\u003eWithin a Budding Grove, \u003c\/i\u003ewon the Goncourt Prize, bringing Proust great and instantaneous fame. Two subsequent installments—\u003ci\u003eThe Guermantes Way\u003c\/i\u003e (1920–21) and \u003ci\u003eSodom and Gomorrah\u003c\/i\u003e (1921)—appeared in his lifetime. The remaining volumes were published following Proust’s death on November 18, 1922: \u003ci\u003eThe Captive\u003c\/i\u003e in 1923, \u003ci\u003eThe Fugitive\u003c\/i\u003e in 1925, and \u003ci\u003eTime Regained\u003c\/i\u003e in 1927.","brand":"Modern Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46300649324773,"sku":"NP9780812969641","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780812969641.jpg?v=1767729940","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/in-search-of-lost-time-isbn-9780812969641","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
