In what renowned translator Arthur Goldhammer called "a piano
reduction of an orchestral score," the first volume of Stephane
Heuet's adaptation of In Search of Lost Time electrified the
graphic community like no other-re-presenting the novel for anyone
who has always dreamed of reading Proust but was put off by the
sheer magnitude of the undertaking. Whereas the first volume
described the narrator's childhood in the pastoral town of Combray,
the second volume portrays the narrator's foray into adolescence,
set in the opulent seaside resort of Balbec. Preserving Proust's
original dissection of the spontaneity of youth, translator Laura
Marris captures the narrator's infatuation with his playmates-his
memories of their intoxicating afternoons together unfolding as if
in a dream. Featuring some of Proust's most memorable
characters-from mysterious Charlus to beguiling young
Albertine-this second volume becomes a necessary companion piece
for any lover of modern literature.
