After the relative intimacy of the first two volumes of In Search
of Lost Time, The Guermantes Way opens up a vast, dazzling landscape
of fashionable Parisian life in the late nineteenth century, as
the narrator enters the brilliant, shallow world of the literary and
aristocratic salons. Both a salute to and a devastating satire of
a time, place, and culture, The Guermantes Way defines the great
tradition of novels that follow the initiation of a young man into
the ways of the world. This elegantly packaged new translation will
introduce a new generation of American readers to the literary
richness of Marcel Proust.
