Synopsis "Finding Time Again: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 7 (in English)"

The long-awaited final volume in the acclaimed Penguin translation of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time--one of the world's most beloved works of literature "The greatest literary work of the twentieth century." --The New York Times A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition with flaps and deckle-edged paper Ian Patterson's acclaimed new translation of Finding Time Again introduces a new generation of American readers to the literary riches of Marcel Proust. The seventh and final volume in Penguin Classics' superb new edition of In Search of Lost Time--the first completely new translation of Proust's masterpiece since the 1920s--brings us a more comic and lucid prose than readers of English have previously been able to enjoy. In Finding Time Again, Marcel discovers his world destroyed by war and those he knew transformed by the march of time. An exquisite picture of France in the throes of the First World War, and containing, in the "Bal des têtes" sequence, one of Proust's most devastating set pieces, Finding Time Again triumphantly describes the paradox of facing mortality yet overcoming it through the act of writing. As Marcel rediscovers his vocation, he realizes that he can live on by writing down the story of his own memories and of his quest to recapture the past.

(1871-1922) Novelista, ensayista y crítico francés. Es uno de los escritores cruciales de la literatura moderna. Nació en París en el seno de una familia adinerada y abandonó pronto sus estudios de Derecho para relacionarse con la sociedad elegante de París y dedicarse a escribir. Proust, aquejado de asma desde la infancia y convertido en un enfermo crónico, pasó el resto de su vida recluido, sin salir prácticamente nunca de la habitación revestida de corcho donde escribió su obra maestra: En busca del tiempo perdido, la que está reconocida sin discusión como una de las más importantes de la literatura moderna, influenciando tanto en el campo de la literatura como en el de la filosofía y la teoría del arte. Falleció de neumonía en París un 18 de noviembre de 1922.
