An authoritative new edition of the third volume in Marcel Proust's
epic masterwork, In Search of Lost Time Marcel Proust's monumental
seven-part novel In Search of Lost Time is considered by many to be
the greatest novel of the twentieth century. This edition of volume
three, The Guermantes Way, is edited and annotated by noted Proust
scholar William C. Carter, who endeavors to bring the classic C. K.
Scott Moncrieff translation closer to the spirit and style of the
author's original text. Continuing the story begun in Swann's Way
and continued in In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower, The
Guermantes Way follows Proust's young protagonist as he advances
through aristocratic French society in late-nineteenth-century
Paris. A departure from the intimacy of the sprawling novel's
previous two installments, part three unfolds against a colorful
backdrop of Parisian life, moving from literary salon to opulent
social gathering to provide a biting and satirical commentary on
culture, human foibles, the ways of the world, and the
irretrievable loss of time.
