Media Reviews
As close to being a definitive English version of the great novel as we are likely to get...This new edition will serve to introduce new generations of readers to what Somerset Maugham rightly described as the greatest novel of our century. -Allan Massie, Scotsman
Author Bio
Marcel Proust was born in Auteuil in 1971. In his twenties, he became a conspicuous society figure, frequenting the most fashionable Paris salons of the day, After '899, however, his suffering from chronic asthma, the death of his parents and his growing disillusionment with humanity caused him to lead an increasingly retired life. He slept by day and worked by night, writing letters and devoting himself to the completion of A la recherche du temps perdu. He died in 1922 before the publication of the last three volumes of his great work.
