About The Modern Library In Search of Lost Time, Complete and Unabridged 6-Book Bundle
Now in a convenient eBook bundle, this Modern Library edition provides the most authoritative, critically acclaimed translation of Marcel Proust's masterpiece in six volumes, In Search of Lost Time, which includes Swann's Way, Within a Budding Grove, The Guermantes Way, Sodom and Gomorrah, The Captive, The Fugitive, and Time Regained.
Graham Greene considered Marcel Proust "the greatest novelist of the twentieth century, just as Tolstoy was in the nineteenth." Edmund Wilson proposed that he was "perhaps the last great historian of the loves." And Virginia Woolf celebrated Proust for "his combination of the utmost sensibility with the utmost tenacity." The prolific French master dazzled many of the most cherished authors of our time, and now his signature work comes alive in this practical and completely accessible eBook bundle.
For these Modern Library volumes, D. J. Enright revised the late Terence Kilmartin's acclaimed reworkings of C. K. Scott Moncrieff's and Andreas Mayor's translations to match the definitive French editions published in recent decades. Expertly and lovingly crafted to rival Marcel Proust's original in elegance, precision, and emotional resonance, here is In Search of Lost Time as it was meant to be read.
For this authoritative English-language edition, D. J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin's acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieff's translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of À la recherche du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).

Praise for the Modern Library edition of In Search of Lost Time
"Twice amended to bring it to documentary decorum and the kind of textual completion Proust himself could never achieve, the C. K. Scott Moncrieff translation of the Search, buffed, rebuffed, lightened, tightened, and in the abstergent sense, brightened, constitutes a monument which is also a medium—the medium by which to gain access to the book, the books, even the apocrypha of modern scripture. A triumph of tone, of a single (and singular) vision, this ultimate revision of the primary version affords the surest sled over the ice fields as well as the most sinuous surfboard over the breakers of Proustian prose, an invaluable and inescapable text."—Richard Howard
