In Search of Lost Time, Vol. III: The Guermantes Way

The â€œGuermantes Way,â€ in this the third volume of In Search of Lost Time, refers to the path that leads to the Duc and Duchess de Guermantesâ€™s chÃ¢teau near Combray. It also represents the narratorâ€™s passage into the rarefied â€œsocial kaleidoscopeâ€ of the Guermantesâ€™s Paris salon, an important intellectual playground for Parisian society, where he becomes a party to the wit and manners of the Guermantesâ€™s drawing room. Here he encounters nobles, officers, socialites, and assorted consorts, including Robert de Saint Loup and his prostitute mistress Rachel, the Baron de Charlus, and the Prince de Borodino.

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 Ã la recherchÃ© du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the BibliothÃ¨que de la PlÃ©iade in 1989).
