The greatest French literary masterpiece of all time is now available as a graphic novel. Proust's oceanic novel 'In Search of Lost Time' looms over twentieth-century literature as one of the greatest, yet most endlessly challenging, literary experiences. Now, in what renowned translator Arthur Goldhammer says might be "likened to a piano reduction of an orchestral score," the French illustrator Stephane Heuet re-presents Proust in graphic form for anyone who has always dreamed of reading him but was put off by the sheer magnitude of the undertaking. This graphic adaptation reveals the fundamental architecture of Proust's work while displaying a remarkable fidelity to his language as well as the novel's themes of time, art, and the elusiveness of memory. SALES POINTS: Takes the fear out of tackling Proust and offers a new way to enjoy the text for existing fans. Perfect gift for a Francophile or student of French. Beautifully and evocatively illustrated by renowned comics artist Stephane Heuet. New translation by Harvard academic and 'Capital in the Twenty- First Century' translator Arthur Goldhammer. REVIEWS: 'Captures the essence of Proust beautifully.' - The Economist 'Heuet has certainly succeeded in conveying the "flavour" of Proust's novel' - Financial Times 'Sumptuous, elegant and beautifully paced, it is completely absorbing...I'll be forever glad to have spent so much time bent over it' - The Guardian 'Heuet's love of Proust shines through in his inventive drawings'. - The Independent
