Swann's Way de Marcel Proust

Swann's Way

Autor Marcel Proust Traducere de C K Scott Moncrieff
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 dec 2020
Marcel Proust's "Swann's Way," the first volume of his monumental work "In Search of Lost Time," delves into the intricacies of memory and desire through a rich tapestry of sensory experiences and nuanced character studies. Proust's prose is characterized by its lyrical elegance and introspective depth, as he employs a unique narrative style that intertwines stream-of-consciousness with vivid descriptions, creating a profound exploration of time and consciousness. The novel traverses themes of love, art, and the painful complexities of social interaction, set against the backdrop of late 19th-century French society. Proust, a keen observer of human behavior and a lover of art, draws from his own experiences and relationships to craft this poignant narrative. His life--marked by social ambitions, literary aspirations, and personal afflictions--greatly informed his understanding of the emotional landscapes he portrays in his characters. The influence of Symbolist literature can also be seen in his emphasis on subjective experience, making "Swann's Way" a critical touchstone in modernist literature. This seminal work is a must-read for anyone interested in the exploration of memory, identity, and the nature of love. Proust's intricate narrative invites readers into a reflective journey that resonates deeply with the human experience, making "Swann's Way" essential for scholars and literary enthusiasts alike.

Notă biografică

Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust (10 July 1871 - 18 November 1922), better known as Marcel Proust, was a French novelist, critic, and essayist best known for his monumental novel À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time; earlier rendered as Remembrance of Things Past), published in seven parts between 1913 and 1927: Swann's Way, In the Shade of Blooming Young Girls, The Guermantes Walk, Sodom and Gomorrah, The Captive Girl, Vanished Albertine, and Time Found Again. He is considered by English critics and writers to be one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Begun in 1909, when Proust was 38 years old, À la recherche du temps perdu consists of seven volumes. Graham Greene called Proust the "greatest novelist of the 20th century", and W. Somerset Maugham called the novel the "greatest fiction to date." Proust died before he was able to complete his revision of the drafts and proofs of the final volumes, the last three of which were published posthumously and edited by his brother, Robert. The book was translated into English by C. K. Scott Moncrieff, appearing under the title Remembrance of Things Past between 1922 and 1931. Scott Moncrieff translated volumes one through six of the seven volumes, dying before completing the last. This last volume was rendered by other translators at different times. The title In Search of Lost Time, a literal rendering of the French, has gained usage in modern times.

Recenzii

“A perfect entry point to begin the journey of a lifetime . . . a more engaging version.”—Mayank Austen Soofi, Live Mint

“A gem, polished for a new century.”—John Winters, Patriot-Ledger

“Carter’s revised edition . . . renews one’s appreciation of Proust. . . . [Carter’s] slight but decisive emendations bring the reader closer than ever to the tenor of Proust’s style and diction. Carter explains his rationale in a jeweled preface. . . . A magnificent and enduring achievement.”—T. C. Conley, Choice

“For William C. Carter, the dean of American Proust studies, to agree to do a new edition of the Scott Moncrieff translation of Swann’s Way is a coup for readers. The new version corrects numerous thematic and lexical errors, and preserves much of Scott Moncrieff’s celebrated style. Carter’s very readable revision is wisely and discreetly annotated, and it offers as accurate a translation as possible. It is also an unmitigated delight to read.”—Allan H. Pasco, Hall Distinguished Professor, University of Kansas

“No one has grasped the interplay of Proust’s life and work better than William Carter. He has now applied that knowledge to the iconic but flawed translation of In Search of Lost Time by Charles Kenneth Scott Moncrieff, correcting Scott Moncrieff’s faults—his outright errors and his idiosyncratic Victorianisms—and providing essential notes to Proust’s many cultural references. The result is a volume of enormous use to both first-time readers and those who are returning to Proust for further understanding and pleasure.”—Harold Augenbraum, editor, Collected Poems of Marcel Proust

“In this thoroughly revised, updated and annotated version of Swann’s Way, William C. Carter, the prominent expert of Marcel Proust’s life and work, offers American readers the most accurate and valuable rendition of Scott Moncrieff’s translation to date. When appropriate and without altering the beauty of Moncrieff’s version, Carter has modernized it, made it compatible with U.S. spelling, and perceptively restored the French original’s simplicity as well as its intended meaning. Unobtrusive and yet detailed notes in this first volume of Proust’s monumental novel will guide general readers, students, and scholars alike in appreciating a text that has captivated millions of readers worldwide for the past hundred years.”—Catherine Perry, University of Notre Dame

“My favorite translation of Proust is Proust’s first English translator, Scott Moncrieff, but updated and corrected and annotated by one of the greatest Proustians alive today, William C. Carter . . . of whom I’m an enormous fan. . . . Beautifully annotated . . . an invaluable resource.”—Caroline Weber, author of Proust’s Duchess: How Three Celebrated Women Captured the Imagination of Fin-de-Siecle Paris
