Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin, published in the United States by Random House, Inc., and in Great Britain by Chatto & Windus. Revisions by D.J.

In this second volume of <i>In Search of Lost Time</i>, the narrator turns from the childhood reminiscences of <i>Swann's Way</i> to memories of his adolescence. Having gradually become indifferent to Swann's daughter Gilberte, the narrator visits the seaside resort of Balbec with his grandmother and meets a new object of attention--Albertine, "a girl with brilliant, laughing eyes and plump, matt cheeks." <p/>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 <i>Á la recherché du temps perdu</i> (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"It is marvelously about life." --Terence Kilmartin<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Marcel Proust</b> was born in the Parisian suburb of Auteuil on July 10, 1871.
