Product Description

Since the original prewar translation there has been no completely new rendering of the French original into English. This translation brings to the fore a more sharply engaged, comic and lucid Proust. IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME is one of the greatest,most entertaining reading experiences in any language. As the great story unfolds from its magical opening scenes to its devastating end, it is the Penguin Proust that makes Proust accessible to a new generation.

Each volume is translated by a different, superb translator working under the general editorship of Professor Christopher Prendergast, University of Cambridge.

5.0 out of 5 stars The listing is thoroughly confused, July 12, 2010

This review is from: In Search of Lost Time: The Way by Swann's: The Way by Swann's Vol 1 (Kindle Edition)
I am viewing Swann's Way of the "Penguin Proust" translation, ASIN B002RI97S4, titled In Search of Lost Time Volume I (Penguin Modern Classics eBook) (Vol 1). The listing is thoroughly messed up:

1) Amazon has titled the Kindle edition by the name of the full novel, rather than as Swann's Way or The Way By Swann's.

2) The cross-links to the hardcover and paperback editions are to The Guermantes Way (Vol 3), and all the Reader Reviews refer to The Guermantes Way as well.

3) The cross-links are to the competing Random House / Modern Library translations, and not to the fresh new translations commissioned by Penguin Group.

It is the same with our past. It is a waste of effort for us to try to summon it, all the exertions of our intelligence are useless. The past is hidden outside the realm of our intelligence and beyond its reach, in some material object (in the sensation that this material object would give us) which we do not suspect. It depends on chance whether we encounter this object before we die, or do not encounter it. &quote;

only in recollection does an experience become fully significant, as we arrange it in a meaningful pattern. Thus the crucial role of our intellect, our imagination, in our perception of the world and our recreation of it to suit our desires, and the importance of the role of the artist in transforming reality according to a particular inner vision: the artist escapes the tyranny of time through art. &quote;

But even with respect to the most insignificant things in life, none of us constitutes a material whole, identical for everyone, which a person has only to go to look up as though we were a book of specifications or a last testament; our social personality is a creation of the minds of others. &quote;
