Generally agreed to be the greatest novel of the twentieth century
- and possibly any other - Proust's masterpiece is here presented
in the latest revision to the classic Scott Moncrieff translation.
On the surface a traditional Bildungsroman describing the
narrator's journey of self-discovery, this huge and complex book is
also a panoramic and richly comic portrait of France in the
author's lifetime, and a profound meditation on the nature of art,
love, time, memory and death. But for most readers it is the
characters of the novel who loom the largest: Swann and Odette,
Monsieur de Charlus, Morel, the Duchesse de Guermantes, Francoise,
Saint-Loup and so many others - Giants, as the author calls them,
immersed in Time.
