'The transmutation of sensation into sentiment, the ebb tide of memory, waves of emotion such as desire, jealousy, and artistic euphoria — this is the material of this enormous and yet singularly light and translucid work' — Vladimir Nabokov

Originally rendered by C.K. Scott Moncrieff from an early and unrealiable French edition, Proust’s masterpiece has now been flawlessly translated by Terence Kilmartin in this acclaimed version.

There is a soft spot in my heart for the work of Proust, ‘Remembrance of Things Past.’ Sure, you could read just the first part ‘Swann’s Way’ and get the gist, but it really gets good in ‘Sodom and Gomorrah’ and ‘The Lovely Captive.’

Whenever this comes up at the bookstore I like to recommend SWANN'S WAY by Marcel Proust, which is way more ebullient and entertaining than we all think it is! And I'll be the 19th vote in this thread for MOBY DICK. 😄 🐳

Proust is my favorite book. It took me maybe ten years of attempting and failing. Then out of nowhere I could read it. Now I have read all 7 volumes five times.
