About this audiobook
Marcel Proust
Marcel Proust was born in Paris in 1871. His family belonged to the wealthy upper middle class, and Proust began frequenting aristocratic salons at a young age. Leading the life of a society dilettante, he met numerous artists and writers. He wrote articles, poems, and short stories (collected as Les Plaisirs et les Jours), as well as pastiches and essays (collected as Pastiches et Mélanges) and translated John Ruskin’s Bible of Amiens. He then went on to write novels. He died in 1922.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's nice to have more Proust translations, and Nelson's version of this bit of Swann's Way is nicely done. I'm still not sure this is really the best way to introduce someone to the work as a whole, but if you're not ready to dive into volume one, I guess it makes sense. The major drawback here is that OUP has crammed so many words onto each page; the reading experience is far less pleasant than the Modern Library's spacious layout.
Very solid introduction, too.
