In Search of Lost Time, Vol. II: Within a Budding Grove

by Մարսել Պրուստ

Blurb

First published in 1919, Within a Budding Grove was awarded the Prix Goncourt, bringing the author immediate fame. In this second volume of In Search of Lost Time, the narrator turns from the childhood reminiscences of Swann’s Way to memories of his 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.”

Den fast 2000 Seiten umfassenden gesamten Roman muss man von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite lesen. Dann erst kann man dieses monströse Projekt überblicken. Proust ist einmalig, ein großes Ereignis.
