One of the best translations of all time: the classic version by Scott Moncrieff of Proust, published in three stunning fabric volumes designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Proust's masterpiece is one of the fundamental works of the twentieth century, capturing the experiences of the narrator as he grows up, falls in love, and lives through World War I. A deep reflection on art, time, memory, self, and loss, it is often considered the defining modern novel. The famous translation by C.K. Scott Moncrieff from the 1920s is today considered a classic in its own right and is available in three volumes in Penguin Classics.
"Scott Moncrieff's volumes belong to that special category of translations which are literary masterpieces in their own right ... his book is one of those translations, like the Authorized Version of the Bible, that can never be superseded" - A. N. Wilson
"For the reader who wishes to engage with Proust, your guide must be C.K. Scott Moncrieff ... There are some who believe that his exhilarating translation of À la recherche du temps perdu renders Belle Époque France more vividly even than the original" - Telegraph
"I was more interesting and charmed by your rendering than by Proust's creation" - Joseph Conrad to Scott Moncrieff
