Publisher's Synopsis
The second volume in this remarkable and highly accessible adaptation of Proust's classic book, which made controversial headlines in France when originally published. Proust, now a teenager, describes his first separation from his mother, his vacation taken in a high class beach resort in Normandy. Besides the fleeting visions of young girls, he also keenly observes, with detached amusement rather than acidity, the petty sophistry of the French upper class in its genteel environs, safely removed from the lower ones. Illustrated throughout.
