All fine copies. ìDu cÙtÈ de chez Swann is the first volume of ProustÃs monumental opus A la recherche du temps perdu the most important French novel of the twentieth century and a masterpiece of European literature. This first volume described the narratorÃs childhood and contains the celebrated madeleine episode. Publication of subsequent volumes was interrupted by the war. This novel famously turned by Gide for the N.R.F was published at the authorÃs expense by Grasset. By 1918 the N.R.F had realised its huge blunder and published A lÃombre des jeunes filles en fleurs which won the Prix Goncourt and established Proust as a major literature figureî From Stendhal to RenÈ Char: Le Cabinet de livres de Renaud Gillet SothebyÃs 27 October 1999 lot 64. ìTranslated by Scott Moncreiff as SwannÃs Way etc. ProustÃs great novel A la recherche du temps perdu is something that happens once in a hundred years like Les Fleurs du Mal or War and Peace. He combined tragic poetical insight with the gift of creating comic characters in the round like Shakespeare. He is consistently both intelligent and poetic. Bergsonian philosophy of time gives depth Ruskinian aesthetics texture. Embittered by his homosexual bias and disabling asthma he shows some deterioration in the unrevised volumes though not enough to upset this magisterially executed conception of a master-mind in which art erects its monument to dead loves using for material only thought and the passage of time. ëIt appeals to our sense of wonder and gains our hommage by its veiled greatness. I donÃt think there ever has been in the whole of literature such an example of the power of analysisà Conradî Connolly The Modern Movement. BN Proust 402 445 484 489 531 533 and 536.

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

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."

"Early in his career Marcel Proust who greatly admired John Ruskin published translations of two works by the English critic -- La Bible d'Amiens 1900 and Sesame et les Lys 1906. He contributed a substantial essay as a preface to each book and provided discursive notes that were themselves often small essays. Rare now even in their French versions the preface to La Bible d'Amiens and the notes to both books have never before been available in English. In bringing them together with the preface to Sesame et les Lys this new book completes the translation into English of the important critical writings of Proust." dj Translated and edited by Jean Autret William Burford and Phillip J. Wolfe and with an introduction by Richard Macksey. Yale University Press hardcover books
