Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition in English. Part Five of Remembrance of Things Past: Cities of the Plain: Volume One and Volume Two: First impressions of the first UK editions, published in a limited edition in 1929. Volume one is numbered copy 701 (numbered in volume one only, as called for) of 'two thousand two hundred and thirty sets only of this edition, of which two thousand and two hundred are numbered and for sale'. Published and printed by Alfred A Knopf by Whitefriars Press, Tonbridge. The book was previously published in the USA by Adam & Charles Boni, New York, also in a limited edition, in 1927. Originally published in French in 1921/2 as "Sodome et Gomorrhe Parts 1 & 2". Translated from the French by C. K. Scott Moncrieff. ***Very good in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spines. Top edges of text-blocks stained blue (by the publisher) but darkened. Boards slightly rubbed and surface marked commensurate with age and handling. Volume two is clean and unfaded, but Volume One has a browned spine and some damp marking to the back board (please see scans). Head and tail and edges of spines slightly rubbed and creased. Corners also slightly rubbed and creased. No reading lean to the bindings. Spines tight. Internally also very good, with no previous ownership inscriptions. Printed on nice quality paper. No creases or tears to the pages. Pages clean. No dust wrappers. ***Volume One: 352 pages. Volume Two: 384 pages. 196mm x 134mm. ***'"In Search of Lost Time", first translated into English as "Remembrance of Things Past", and sometimes referred to in French as "La Recherche" (The Search), is a novel in seven volumes by French author Marcel Proust. This early 20th-century work is his most prominent, known both for its length and its theme of involuntary memory. The most famous example of this is the "episode of the madeleine", which occurs early in the first volume. The novel gained fame in English in translations by C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin as "Remembrance of Things Past", but the title "In Search of Lost Time", a literal rendering of the French, became ascendant after D. J. Enright adopted it for his revised translation published in 1992. "In Search of Lost Time" follows the narrator's recollections of childhood and experiences into adulthood in the late 19th-century and early 20th-century high-society France, while reflecting on the loss of time and lack of meaning in the world. The novel began to take shape in 1909. Proust continued to work on it until his final illness in the autumn of 1922 forced him to break off. Proust established the structure early on, but even after volumes were initially finished, he continued to add new material and edited one volume after another for publication. The last three of the seven volumes contain oversights and fragmentary or unpolished passages, as they existed only in draft form at the death of the author; the publication of these parts was overseen by his brother Robert.' (Wiki) ***First impressions of the first UK edition of "Cities of the Plain", published in two volumes (Part Five: Remembrance of Things Past) in a limited edition of 2,230 copies. It is very hard to find first printings of the individual volumes that make up this important work now. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 8025
