The original translation of the first part of the first volume of REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST. Proust paints an unforgettable, scathing and at times comic portrait of French society at the close of the nineteenth century - and reveals one of the mostprofound visions of obsessive love to be found in European literature.
