First published in 1919, Within a Budding Grove was awarded the Prix Goncourt, bringing the author immediate fame. In this second volume of In Search of Lost Time, the narrator turns from the childhood reminiscences of Swannâ s Way to memories of his adolescence. Having gradually become indifferent to Swannâ s daughter Gilberte, the narrator visits the seaside resort of Balbec with his grandmother and meets a new object of attentionâ Albertine, â a girl with brilliant, laughing eyes and plump, matt cheeks.â
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 à la recherchà du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la PlÃiade in 1989).

“It is marvelously about life.” —Terence Kilmartin
Marcel Proust was born in the Parisian suburb of Auteuil on July 10, 1871. He began work on In Search of Lost Time sometime around 1908, and the first volume, Swann’s Way, was published in 1913. In 1919 the second volume, Within a Budding Grove, won the Goncourt Prize, bringing Proust great and instantaneous fame. Two subsequent installments—The Guermantes Way (1920–21) and Sodom and Gomorrah (1921)—appeared in his lifetime. The remaining volumes were published following Proust’s death on November 18, 1922: The Captive in 1923, The Fugitive in 1925, and Time Regained in 1927.
