There is a special kind of glance, apparently of recognition, which a young man never receives from certain women – nor from certain men’
At once intimate and epic, Proust’s transformative novel follows one man’s search for meaning in his life, from childhood through love affairs, jealousy, desire and loss to the discovery of his vocation – and salvation – in art. Scott Moncrieff’s masterly early-twentieth-century translation of Remembrance of Things Past captures both Proust’s grandeur and lyricism, and is now regarded as an immortal classic in its own right. This volume contains The Guermantes Way and Cities of the Plain, exploring the narrator’s experiences of decadent Parisian society, his attraction to men and his destructive sexual jealousy.
