In Search of Lost Time, Volume II: Within a Budding Grove Summary:

Following Swann's Way, Within a Budding Grove is the second volume of Proust's masterpiece, À la recherche du temps perdu. When it was first published in 1919, Within a Budding Grove was awarded the Prix Goncourt, bringing the author immediate fame. In this volume, the reminiscences of the narrator of Swann's Way move from childhood to 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."

The final volume of a new, definitive text of À la recherche du temps perdu was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989. 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 French editions. À la recherche du temps perdu, is available from the Modern Library in six volumes.


"[Proust] has supplied for the first time in literature an equivalent in the full scale for the new theory of modern physics."
   EDMUND WILSON

"The thing about Proust is his combination of the utmost sensibility with the utmost tenacity. He searches out these butterfly shades to the last grain... And he will I suppose both influence me and make me out of temper with every sentence of my own."
   VIRGINIA WOOLF

"For those who began to write at the end of the twenties or the beginning of the thirties, there were two great inescapable influences: Proust and Freud, who are mutually complementary."
   GRAHAM GREENE

"There has never been anyone else with Proust's ability to show us things; Proust's pointing finger is unequaled."
   WALTER BENJAMIN
