In Search of Lost Time
Marcel Proust · translated by C. K. Scott Moncrieff
A madeleine dipped in tea brings back the narrator’s childhood at Combray, and from there his life in Paris society: Swann’s love for Odette, the Guermantes, Albertine. Six of the seven volumes in C. K. Scott Moncrieff’s translation; the seventh, Time Regained, is missing because he died before translating it.
