One of the greatest translations of all time: Scott Moncrieff's
classic version of Proust, published in three volumes 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. 'Scott
Moncrieff's [volumes] belong to that special category of
translations which are themselves literary masterpieces ... his
book is one of those translations, such as the Authorized Version
of the Bible itself, which can never be displaced' - A. N. Wilson
'For the reader wishing to tackle Proust your guide must be C K
Scott Moncrieff ... There are some who believe his headily perfumed
translation of A la recherche du temps perdu conjures Belle Epoque
France more vividly even than the original' - Telegraph 'I was more
interested and fascinated by your rendering than by Proust's
creation' - Joseph Conrad to Scott Moncrieff
