In Search of Lost Time, Vol. II: Within a Budding Grove (Modern Library Classics)

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 Swannâ‚¬s Way to memories of his adolescence. Having gradually become indifferent to Swannâ‚¬s daughter Gilberte, the narrator visits the seaside resort of Balbec with his grandmother and meets a new object of attentionâ‚¬"Albertine, â‚¬Å“a girl with brilliant, laughing eyes and plump, matt cheeks.â‚¬Â

For this authoritative English-language edition, D. J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartinâ‚¬s acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieffâ‚¬s translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of Â la recherchÂ© du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the BibliothÂ¨que de la PlÂ©iade in 1989).
