Additionally an autograph letter signed ALS by Gerard Hopkins is laid in. "Covering as they do the period from 1902 when Proust was thirty-one until 1920 these frank and often demanding confidences afford us fascinating glimpses into the mind of a writer who having already achieved a measure of literary success is in the throes of composing his chef d'oeuvre - a work unique in the annals of literature. They throw fresh light on Proust's technique and provide a number of keys to the still hotly debated problems set by that most subjective of masterpieces - A la Recherche du Temps Perdu." Octavo: 169 p. with 8 tipped-in illustrations. Original white cloth binding with gilt and red stamping. A bit of fading along the spine and extremities. The dust jacket is browned more so along the spine; otherwise very good. Thames and Hudson hardcover books

In near fine condition with Time Regained in the rare dust jacket. Translated by C.K. Scott Moncrieff. An excellent set rare in this condition.

Scott Moncrieff as 'Remembrance of Things Past' it was later revised in translation to 'In Search of Lost Time'. Semi-autobiographical and written in a stream-of-consciousness style W. Somerset Maugham called it 'the greatest fiction to date'. The first volume was published in 1913.

1913407620Paris: Grasset 1913. Near fine in entirely original and unrestored condition some light cockling along spine a few small tears at edges light toning to sheets at beginning and end but generally in superb condition scarcely found in the original wrappers. 8vo. 523 pages 8-page publisher's advertisement at end unopened. Original pale yellow printed wrappers untrimmed. Purple morocco chemise and slipcase some light rubbing in a few spots. First edition first printing of the first volume in Proust's 'À la Recherche du Temps Perdu' 'In Search of Lost Time' or more commonly 'Remembrance of Things Past'. With all the notable points of a first printing: typographic error in the publisher's name on the title-page; title-page dated 1914 but front wrapper and printer's colophon dated 1913; four-leaf publisher's catalogue at the end; no Table of Contents; a blank leaf between the front wrapper and the half-title. This copy is also preserved with a contemporary and perhaps original plain glassine outer wrapper.<br/><br/>The now-famous novel was rejected by at least three major publishers and was infamously turned down by André Gide before Proust arranged with the publisher Grasset to pay for the cost of publication himself. Though Gallimard offered to publish the remaining volumes Proust chose to stay with Grasset. <br/><br/> Grasset unknown books
