1981rif. 693New York: Random House 1981. First thus. Hardcover. Near fine. Considering how many lists of "great books" as "Remembrance of Things Past" has landed on not that many people seem to have actually it. That could be because its sheer size and reputation for "greatness" is so intimidating. Take a couple of pointers from someone who is working their way through it: First it's just not that hard. Long yes but actually a relatively light read compared to so much of the modern literature it inspired. It's an impressionistic meandering study of a man's life in late nineteenth and early twentieth century France actually a covert autobiography of author Marcel Proust himself with added fiction told in the first person. The narrator is at least as interested in the characters places and milieus he encounters along the way as he is in his own story. Plot simply isn't that important; people are. What that means is that it is easy to put down and then pick back up later without feeling lost but still get completely absorbed into the narrator's intellectual bourgeoisie world while reading. It doesn't hurt that Proust based a number of the characters on historical figures and friends-one character is based on a combination of author Anatole France and another author for instance; a painter in the book is more than reminiscent of Claude Monet; many prominent Parisian socialites of the era appear in the book in various guises; etc. On the other hand while Proust tells us the stories of these characters and their worlds he also tells us narrator's thoughts about and reactions to them. It's a story about a world at the same time it is a story about interiority. In that way it is easy to see why it broke new ground in modernism. Our second point: owning only one volume of a multi-volume set-the form in which this book is inevitably published-won't do you any good either as a collector or as a reader. The original was progressively published in seven volumes and has been published in many other versions since. The first volume came out in 1913; the last in 1927 all with individual titles but with the over-arching title of "À la recherche du temps perdu." This Random House publication which arranges things into three reasonable-sized hardbacks in one slipcase is a wonderful way to attack the work. For one thing it starts with what may be called the authoritative version of those original seven volumes which wasn't always in existence. Proust left things in a mess when he died in 1922 the last volume still unfinished and the two previous volumes still unpublished. His copious notes were nearly illegible but of course no one could consult him as to his intent which meant for decades there was no "definitive" book. In 1954 that very thing finally came out now called "the Pléiade edition" after its French publisher. That edition is what Random House used as the basis for this release. Translation however is its own can of worms one which Random House also approached well. C. K. Scott Moncrieff was the first to translate all seven of Proust's original volumes into English. His set the standard though there have been arguments against it and new translations since. He is the one who named the book "Remembrance of Things Past" which is not literal. You are more likely to see it referred to as "In Search of Lost Time" these days. Ironically he died while translating Proust's final volume.the one Proust himself left uncompleted because of his death. Andreas Mayor receives the translation credit for that. Random House kept the bulk of the Scott Moncrieff translation but had Terence Kilmartin make revisions and although it says this nowhere in the title page or copyright page from the translator's note it sounds as if Kilmartin also served as an overall editor. Random House arranged Proust's original seven volumes this way: The first two "Swann's Way" and "Within a Budding Grove" are in the first hardback simply labeled "Volume I." Volume II contains "The Guermantes Way" and "Cities of the Plain." Finally Volume III has "The Captive" The Fugitive" and "Time Regained." Yes it's a lot. Yes it's worth it. After all it's not like you have to read it all in one sitting! Our set is Near Fine. All three volumes are bound in black cloth. The cover lettering and decoration match in kind for all three volumes. They have silver stamping on the front covers and spine. The author's name is stamped within a frame at the very top of the front cover. A silver vertical box is stamped on the top half of the spine with the lettering and lines coming through in black relief. All of it has an Art Nouveau feel to it. The cover stamping is quite bright but the silver on the spines shows some wear slight on Volumes I and II but more pronounced on Volume III. All of the bindings are remarkably free of wear but there is some light soiling particularly on Volume III. The slipcase is in very solid but with some minor wear such as bumping at the front corners and slight rubbing at the back panel. It is silver colored with black lettering and gorgeous Art Nouveau decoration on the sides and back. The identical sides provide the information of a cover page with the title of the entire work the translators' and author's names and the titles within each of the volumes. The text blocks are tight and square and all of the pages are untorn and uncreased. The only mark is a light fingerprint at the bottom of the blank page before the notes of the third volume. There is some light soiling at the bottom corner of all three text blocks indicating the books have been read. This is a version of this great work that is not only highly attractive but highly approachable. Photos are forthcoming or available upon request. Random House hardcover
