Proust Marcel The Collected Poems. A Dual-Language Edition with Parallel Text
As a young man, Proust wrote both poetry and prose. Even after he embarked on his masterful In Search of Lost Time at the age of thirty-eight, he never stopped writing poetry. His verse is often playful, filled with affection and satire, and is peppered with witty barbs at friends and people in his social circle of aristocrats, writers, musicians, and courtesans. Few of the poems collected here under the editorship of Harold Augenbraum, founder of the Proust Society of America, have ever been published in book form or translated into English until now. In this dual-language edition of new translations, Augenbraum has brought together nineteen renowned poets and poetry translators to bring Proust's exuberant verse back to life. Marcel Proust (1871-1922) is generally viewed as the greatest French novelist and perhaps the greatest European novelist of the 20th century. He lived much of his later life as a reclusive semi-invalid in a sound-proofed flat in Paris, giving himself over entirely to writing In Search of Lost Time.

Proust Marcel La Prisonniere
«Je pouvais mettre ma main dans sa main, sur son epaule, sur sa joue, Albertine continuait de dormir. Je pouvais prendre sa tete, la renverser, la poser contre mes levres, entourer mon cou de ses bras, elle continuait a dormir comme une montre qui ne s'arrete pas, comme une bete qui continue de vivre quelque position qu'on lui donne, comme une plante grimpante, un volubilis qui continue de pousser ses branches quelque appui qu'on lui donne. Seul son souffle etait modifie par chacun de mes attouchements, comme si elle eut ete un instrument dont j'eusse joue et a qui je faisais executer des modulations en tirant de l'une, puis de l'autre de ses cordes, des notes differentes.»

Proust Marcel Swann's Way
In Swann's Way, the first of seven books that make up Proust's masterpiece Remembrance of Things Past, the narrator bites into a madeleine cake dipped in tea and memories of childhood come flooding back. From the anxieties of youth to the swirl of jealousies and I intrigues surrounding family friend Charles Swann, Proust presents a river of elegant allusions, sensual impressions, teasing ironies, lovingly evoked descriptions, subtle and witty digressions, and penetrating insights into the characters. Remarkable for its richness and its refusal to be rushed, Swann's Way is a virtuoso performance by one of the true masters of the written word.

Proust Marcel La Prisonnière
Albertine a renonce a faire une croisiere et lorsque, a la fin de l’ete, elle rentre de Balbec avec le narrateur, elle s’installe chez lui, a Paris: il ne se sent plus amoureux d’elle, elle n’a plus rien a lui apprendre, elle lui semble chaque jour moins jolie, mais la possibilite d’un mariage reste ouverte, et en lui rendant la vie agreable, peut-etre songe-t-il a eveiller en elle le desir de l’epouser. Il se preoccupe en tout cas de son emploi du temps, l’interroge sur ses sorties sans pouvoir bien percer si sa reponse est un mensonge, et le desir que visiblement elle suscite chez les autres fait poindre la souffrance en lui. Paru en 1923, La Prisonniere est le premier des trois volumes publies apres la mort de Proust et, quoique solidaire, bien sur, de Sodome et Gomorrhe qui le precede comme d’Albertine disparue qui le suit, une certaine unite lui est propre, entre l’enfermement initial du narrateur et le depart final de la jeune fille. Pour l’essentiel, trois journees simplement se deroulent ici –le plus souvent dans l’espace clos de l’appartement –, et ce sont comme les trois actes d’un theatre ou la jalousie occupe toute la place.

Proust Marcel In Search of Lost Time. Volume 1. The Way by Swann's
One of the greatest, most entertaining reading experiences in any language, Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time Vol. 1: The Way by Swann's is published in a new translation from the French by Lydia Davis in Penguin Classics. The Way by Swann's is one of the great novels of childhood, depicting the impressions of a sensitive boy of his family and neighbours, brought dazzlingly back to life by the famous taste of a madeleine. It contains the separate short novel, A Love of Swann's, a study of sexual jealousy that forms a crucial part of the vast, unfolding structure of In Search of Lost Time. This book established Proust as one of the greatest voices of the modern age - satirical, sceptical, confiding and endlessly varied in his responses to the human condition. Since the original pre-war translation Remembrance of Things Past by C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin, there has been no completely new rendering of Proust's French original into English. This translation brings to the fore a more sharply engaged, comic and lucid Proust. As the great story unfolds from its magical opening scenes to its devastating end, it is this Penguin Classics edition of In Search of Lost Time that makes Proust accessible to a new generation. Marcel Proust (1871-1922) is generally viewed as the greatest French novelist and perhaps the greatest European novelist of the 20th century. He lived much of his later life as a reclusive semi-invalid in a sound-proofed flat in Paris, giving himself over entirely to writing his masterpiece In Search of Lost Time (A la recherche du temps perdu).
