Proust's masterpiece is one of the seminal works of the twentieth
century, recording its narrator's experiences as he grows up, falls in
love and lives through the First World War. A profound reflection on
art, time, memory, self and loss, it is often viewed as the definitive
modern novel. C. K. Scott Moncrieff's famous translation from the 1920s
is today regarded as a classic in its own right and is now available in
three volumes in Penguin Classics.
This first volume includes Swann's Way and Within a Budding Grove.
