Synopsis
The third volume of one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century
Mark Treharne's acclaimed new translation of The Guermantes Way will introduce a new generation of American readers to the literary richness of Marcel Proust. The third volume in Penguin Classics' superb new edition of In Search of Lost Time—the first completely new translation of Proust's masterpiece since the 1920s—brings us a more comic and lucid prose than English readers have previously been able to enjoy.
After the relative intimacy of the first two volumes of In Search of Lost Time, The Guermantes Way opens up a vast, dazzling landscape of fashionable Parisian life in the late nineteenth century, as the narrator enters the brilliant, shallow world of the literary and aristocratic salons. Both a salute to and a devastating satire of a time, place, and culture, The Guermantes Way defines the great tradition of novels that follow the initiation of a young man into the ways of the world.

About the Author
Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was born in Auteuil, France. In his twenties, following a year in the army, he became a conspicuous society figure, frequenting the most fashionable Paris salons of the day. After 1899, however, his chronic asthma, the death of his parents, and his growing disillusionment with humanity caused him to lead an increasingly retired life. From 1907 on, he rarely emerged from a cork-lined room in his apartment on boulevard Haussmann. There he insulated himself against the distractions of city life and the effects of trees and flowers--though he loved them, they brought on his attacks of asthma. He slept by day and worked by night, writing letters and devoting himself to the completion of In Search of Lost Time.
Mark Treharne (translator) taught French at the University of Warwick and has since worked as a translator. His translations include the work of Philippe Jaccottet and Jacques Reda's The Ruins of Paris. Christopher Prendergast (series editor) is a professor emeritus of French literature at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of King's College."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. Der Roman spielt im Frankreich des Fin de si cle in der gehobenen Gesellschaft. Ein Ich-Erz hler berichtet von seinem Leben und vom Vorgang des Erinnerns. Der Ich-Erz hler stammt aus einer Familie des Pariser B rgertums, die den Sommer blicherweise bei Verwandten auf dem Land verbringt. Hier erlebt er eine gl ckliche Kindheit und lernt Personen kennen, die in seinem weiteren Leben eine Rolle spielen werden, etwa den Kunstliebhaber Swann, dessen Tochter Gilberte, oder die lokale Adelsfamilie, die Guermantes. Der Ich-Erz hler steigt in der Welt des Adels auf und besucht die Salons. Hier macht er sich ber das leere Geplauder der Menschen lustig, aber er ist auch fasziniert und kann sich nicht von ihnen trennen, um sein Werk zu schaffen. Die politischen Aff ren seiner Zeit interessieren ihn kaum. Er bekommt nur mit, dass die Dreyfus-Aff re es manchen Personen erlaubt, gesellschaftlich aufzusteigen, w hrend sie andere zum Abstieg zwingt. Marcel Proust (1871-1922) war ein franz sischer Schriftsteller und Kritiker. Prousts Hauptwerk ist Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit ( la recherche du temps perdu) in sieben B nden. Dieser monumentale Roman ist eines der bedeutendsten erz hlenden Werke des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Welt der Guermantes ist der dritte Teil dieses Werkes. Seller Inventory # CIN0143039229G
