In Search of Lost Time: Guermantes Way v. 3 (Modern Library) Book

The â??Guermantes Way,â? in this the third volume of In Search of Lost Time, refers to the path that leads to the Duc and Duchess de Guermantesâ??s château near Combray. It also represents the narratorâ??s passage into the rarefied â??social kaleidoscopeâ? of the Guermantesâ??s Paris salon, an important intellectual playground for Parisian society, where he becomes a party to the wit and manners of the Guermantesâ??s drawing room. Here he encounters nobles, officers, socialites, and assorted consorts, including Robert de Saint Loup and his prostitute mistress Rachel, the Baron de Charlus, and the Prince de Borodino.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 Á la recherché du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).Read More
