One of the greatest translational treasures of all time: the classic version of Proust by Scott Moncrieff, published in three impressive hardback volumes designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Proust's masterpiece is one of the defining works of the 20th century, capturing the narrator's experiences as he grows up, falls in love, and experiences the First World War. A deeply reflective study of art, time, memory, the self, and loss, it is often regarded as the definitive modern novel. C. K. Scott Moncrieff's famous translation from the 1920s is now considered a classic in its own right and is now available in three volumes from Penguin Classics.
"Scott Moncrieff's volumes belong to that rare category of translations that are literary masterpieces in their own right..." - A. N. Wilson. "For the reader who wishes to approach Proust, your guide should be C. K. Scott Moncrieff... There are some who believe that the opulent translation of À la recherche du temps perdu brings Belle Époque France more vividly to life than even the original" - Telegraph. "I was more interested and fascinated by your rendering than by Proust's creation" - Joseph Conrad to Scott Moncrieff.
