媒体评论：
“在1900年至1950年这50年中，除了《追忆逝水年华》之外，再没有别的值得永志不忘的小说巨著了。”——法国文学家安德烈·莫罗亚

“如果我也能写出这样的作品就好了。”——英国作家弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙

“普鲁斯特的文字帮助我阐释了自己的思想。”——法国哲学家梅洛·庞蒂

“现代文学重要的作品，甚至超过了乔伊斯和托马斯·曼这样的文学巨匠。”——美国《纽约时报》

“普鲁斯特的声音如此变幻莫测，它诱使人们阐释，却又拒绝阐释，我们越是仔细研读，它就展现出越多的可能性。”——英国《卫报》

Generally agreed to be the greatest novel of the twentieth century and possibly any other Prousts masterpiece is here presented in the latest revision to the classic Scott Moncrieff translation. On the surface a traditional Bildungsroman describing the narrators journey of self-discovery, this huge and complex book is also a panoramic and richly comic portrait of France in the authors lifetime, and a profound meditation on the nature of art, love, time, memory and death. But for most readers it is the characters of the novel who loom the largest: Swann and Odette, Monsieur de Charlus, Morel, the Duchesse de Guermantes, Franoise, Saint-Loup and so many others Giants, as the author calls them, immersed in Time.
In Search of Lost Time《追忆逝水年华》是与传统小说不同的长篇小说。书中以叙述者“我”为主体，将其所见所闻所思所感融合一体，既有对社会生活、人情世态的真实描写，又是一份作者自我追求、自我认识的内心经历的记录。

1. In Search of Lost Time: The Way by Swann's《追忆逝水年华：在斯万家这边》
The Way by Swann's is one of the great novels of childhood, depicting the impressions of a sensitive boy of his family and neighbours, brought dazzlingly back to life by the famous taste of a madeleine. It contains the separate short novel, A Love of Swann's, a study of sexual jealousy that forms a crucial part of the vast, unfolding structure of In Search of Lost Time. This book established Proust as one of the greatest voices of the modern age - satirical, sceptical, confiding and endlessly varied in his responses to the human condition.

2. In Search of Lost Time: In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower《追忆逝水年华：在花季少女倩影下》
In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower is a spectacular dissection of male and female adolescence, charged with the narrator’s memories of Paris and the Normandy seaside. In it, Proust introduces some of his greatest comic inventions. As a meditation on different forms of love, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower has no equal.

3. In Search of Lost Time: The Guermantes Way《追忆逝水年华：盖尔芒特那边》
In The Guermantes Way Proust's narrator recalls his initiation into the dazzling world of Parisian high society. Looking back over his time in the glamorous salons of the aristocracy, he satirises this shallow world and his own youthful infatuation with it. His observations, and his experiences with his lover Albertine, also educate him in the volatile nature of desire as he walks the path towards adulthood.

4. In Search of Lost Time: Sodom and Gomorrah《追忆逝水年华：索多姆和戈摩尔》
Sodom and Gomorrah takes up the theme of homosexual love, male and female, and dwells on how destructive sexual jealousy can be for those who suffer it. Proust’s novel is also an unforgiving analysis of both the decadent high society of Paris and the rise of a philistine bourgeoisie that is on the way to supplanting it. Characters who had lesser roles in earlier volumes now reappear in a different light and take center stage, notably Albertine, with whom the narrator believes he is in love, and the insanely haughty Baron de Charlus.

5. In Search of Lost Time: The Prisoner and The Fugitive《追忆逝水年华：女囚和女逃亡者》
As the great story unfolds from its magical opening scenes to its devastating end, it is the Publish Press that makes Proust accessible to a new generation.

6.In Search of Lost Time: Time Regained《追忆逝水年华：重现的时光》
Time Regained, the final volume of In Search of Lost Time, begins in the bleak and uncertain years of World War I. Years later, after the war’s end, Proust’s narrator returns to Paris and reflects on time, reality, jealousy, artistic creation, and the raw material of literature—his past life.
马塞尔·普鲁斯特，法国小说家，意识流小说大师。出生于法国奥特伊市，后入巴黎大学和政治科学学校钻研修辞和哲学。普鲁斯特自幼体弱多病，生性敏感，富有幻想。十岁时得哮喘病，拖累终生。由于患有严重的哮喘，普鲁斯特长期闭门从事翻译与写作，并从1909年开始创作这部凝聚了其毕生心力的《追忆似水年华》。写《追忆似水年华》的普鲁斯特，是个半辈子躺在床上、与药罐子为伍的人。靠着被宠坏的童年和放纵反叛的青年时代那短暂的正常生活记忆，完成了他的大量作品。普鲁斯特临终前还在工作，在他的书里，记忆是瞬间的，也是永恒的。《追忆似水年华》的第二部《在少女花影下》得到阿尔封斯·都德父子的赞赏与推荐，荣获龚古尔文学奖。普鲁斯特本人也被法国《读书》杂志评为欧洲伟大的十位作家之一。

Marcel Proust was born in Auteuil in 1871. In his twenties he became a conspicuous society figure, frequenting the most fashionable Paris salons of the day. After 1899, however, his suffering from chronic asthma, the death of his parents and his growing disillusionment with humanity caused him to lead an increasingly retired life. He slept by day and worked by night, writing letters and devoting himself to the completion of A la recherche du temps perdu. He died in 1922 before publication of the last three volumes of his great work.
