Swann's Way: Remembrance of Things Past. Volume One by Marcel Proust. Translated from the French by C. K. Scott Moncrieff. In Search of Lost Time - previously also translated as Remembrance of Things Past - is a novel in seven volumes, written by Marcel Proust (1871-1922). It is considered to be his most prominent work, known both for its length and its theme of involuntary memory, the most famous example being the "episode of the madeleine" which occurs early in the first volume. The Narrator begins by noting, "For a long time, I went to bed early." He comments on the way sleep seems to alter one's surroundings, and the way habit makes one indifferent to them. He remembers being in his room in the family's country home in Combray, while downstairs his parents entertain their friend Charles Swann, an elegant man of Jewish origin with strong ties to society. Due to Swann's visit, the Narrator is deprived of his mother's goodnight kiss, but he gets her to spend the night reading to him.

Just Joyce

Scottish writer and translator CK Scott Moncrieff died OTD in 1930. He translated most of Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu under the Shakespearean title Remembrance of Things Past. (He used a Nouvelle Revue Française edition Samuel Beckett described as "abominable.") https://t.co/mPV3Tqw946
