The Guermantes Way

The definitive translation of the greatest French novel of the twentieth century

"One of the cornerstones of the Western literary canon."  -  The Times

"It's a novel with zero plot, but the narrator's brilliant analyses of everyday experiences more than make up for it. I've never read a better description of what it feels like to fall asleep."  -  Alain De Batton, Mail On Sunday

"The plot is as gripping as any soap opera, the jokes come thick and fast...Proust's is a world entire - so why not take it with you anywhere in the world?"  -  Will Self, Independent On Sunday

"The way he replicates the workings of the mind changed the art of novel-writing forever...his style is extraordinary, enveloping, captivating."  -  The Guardian
