4.0 out of 5 stars A fine (but slightly incomplete) translation, January 1, 2009

This review is from: Pleasures and Regrets (Peter Owen Modern Classics) (Paperback)

I haven't had a chance to read this early work by Marcel Proust yet, but if you're interested in buying a copy, it's worth knowing that while A.N. Wilson, translator of the Hesperus Press edition, reports having used "with profit" this "fine translation" by Louise Varese, this edition does not include the poems entitled "Portrits of Painters and Musicians", but the Hesperus Press edition does so. Also included in the Hesperus Press edition but missing from this one are translations of the preface by Anatole France, and the dedication to Willie Heath.
