About This Item
Viking, 2004. First edition thus. Hardcover. Very good +/Near fine. First printing thus, very good + hardcover shows moisture spotting at top page edges, remainder mark at bottom page edges and some other light trace wear, in near fine dust jacket (price at flap) that shows just a touch of shelf wear. 558 pages translated with intro and notes by James Grieve. Still a pleasing copy of this second installment in Proust's In Search of Lost Time (Remembrance of Things Past).
Synopsis
In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower is Proust’s spectacular dissection of male and female adolescence, charged with the narrator’s memories of Paris and the Normandy seaside. At the heart of the story lie his relationships with his grandmother and with the Swann family. As a meditation on different forms of love, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower has no equal. Here, Proust introduces some of his greatest comic inventions, from the magnificently dull M. de Norpois to the enchanting Robert de Saint-Loup. It is memorable as well for the first appearance of the two figures who for better or worse are to dominate the narrator’s life—the Baron de Charlus and the mysterious Albertine. First time in Penguin Classics A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition The first completely new translation of Proust's novel since the 1920s, following Lydia Davis's brilliant translation of Swann's Way
