Synopsis "In Search of Lost Time Vol 2"

In this second volume of In Search of Lost Time, the narrator turns from the childhood reminiscences of Swann's Way to memories of his adolescence. Having gradually become indifferent to Swann's daughter Gilberte, the narrator visits the seaside resort of Balbec with his grandmother and meets a new object of attention--Albertine, "a girl with brilliant, laughing eyes and plump, matt cheeks."

For this authoritative English-language edition, D. J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin's acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieff's translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of Á la recherché du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).

Marcel Proust (Auteuil, Paris, 1871 – Paris, 1922) was a French novelist, critic, and essayist considered one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. He is famous for his monumental work In Search of Lost Time (À la recherche du temps perdu), a series of seven volumes published between 1913 and 1927, which explore memory, art, and French society of his time. Proust won the prestigious Goncourt Prize in 1919 for the second volume of the saga, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower. His innovative use of involuntary memory and the stream of consciousness technique deeply marked modern literature. Despite a life marked by illness and isolation, his work is today a universal reference and has been translated into numerous languages.
