Remembrance of Things Past: Volume 1-3 Box Set

Proust

"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

About the Author
Marcel Proust was born in Auteuil in 1871. In his twenties, he became a conspicuous society figure, frequenting the most fashionable Paris salons of the day. From 1907, however, he rarely emerged from a cork-lined room in his apartment on the Boulevard Hausman. He slept by day and worked by night, writing letters and devoting himself to the completion of A la Réchèrche du Temps Perdu. He died in 1922 before the publication of the last three volumes of his great work.
