I loved the first two thirds, maybe the first three quarters of Volume 2--it is filled with so much humor and delicious writing and the pace is much more comfortably paced (i.e. faster) than Volume 1. But that last chunk revolving around Albertine and the girls was a bit of a slog. My working theory is that Proust fails with such topics because he had so little experience with amorous relationships. The sections that are about all the other types of interactions we have, with people, places and things, are marvelous, because he had a richer store of experience to draw from. ( ) Honestly, I liked this more than the first book, Swann's Way. However, life intervened when I was almost done & it was a struggle to finish the final 5% of the book. Proust's style of writing is lush but it doesn't appeal to me and his long, convoluted sentences make this a poor book to read when frequent interruptions occur (as was the case for me towards the end). If you remember from Proust's first volume of Remembrance of Things Past our narrator was looking back on his childhood. Now he is thinking back to when he was a young adult; the coming of age stage of life. This time he has a sweetheart named Gilberte, the daughter of M. Swann, and he still has a singular attachment to his mother. Many of the same characters that were in the first installment are back in volume two, only now they are more refined due to their changing circumstances. Family relations change. Gilberte starts to drift away. The chase of Gilberte seemed endless. Twenty pages later and our narrator is still stalking her; looking for excuses to connect with her. The turning point was when he decides to play hard to get himself. The head game of renouncing Gilberte and then realizing this could backfire and he could lose her forever had a very modern feel to it. Most of the drama takes place in the seaside town of Balbec or Normandy, France. There are times when Within a Budding Grove drags. Entire pages are dedicated to the description of ladies gowns. Society's dedication to cordial formalities and the quest for the value of Beauty were tiresome. Questioning the possibilities of happiness or suffering seems an age-old topic. Only when the narrator was looking for intellectual distraction in a dinner conversation did I find the situation funny. To see what others had done with the carnation wrapped in silver paper was relatable.
Si La Recherche demeure cent ans après universelle, c'est que son auteur a eu le génie de parler de soi sans parler de lui. Wolfgang Schneider nimmt uns mit in die Welt der Swanns, Bergottes und Albertines im zweiten Band von Marcel Prousts "Recherche" und kommt rasch auf das Entscheidende dieser Ausgabe: die neue Ãœbersetzung durch den Linguisten Bernd-Jürgen Fischer, der damit Eva Rechel-Mertens den Rang streitig macht. Aber macht er das wirklich? Schneider erklärt, dass Fischer dem Original syntaktisch näherkommt, als Rechel-Mertens, da er die Proustschen Satzbögen in all ihrer Länge und Komplexität zu übernehmen sucht, während die alte Ãœbertragung mittels Parataxen im Text aufräumte. Außerdem findet Schneider die lyrische Seite Prousts in der Neuübersetzung besser herausgearbeitet. Auch die antisemitischen Ausfälle im Text sind jetzt besser zu erkennen, findet der Rezensent. Davon abgesehen aber entdeckt Schneider immer wieder auch Momente, da Fischer Pointen "verwässert" und weniger Esprit zeigt als Rechel-Mertens, auf die Schneider nicht gänzlich verzichten möchte, zumindest solange nicht, bis Fischer seinen Text überarbeitet hat. Because of Its being an almost literal translation, In parts, the English seems stilted and replete with mannerisms and affectations, so much so, that parts of it are rather trying reading...But the books are a marvelous analysis of character and a keen study of the social world the author is said to have known so well.

Edited and annotated by leading Proust scholar William Carter, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower is the second volume of one of the twentieth century ?s great literary triumphs. It was this volume that won the Prix Goncourt in 1919, affirming Proust as a major literary figure and dramatically increasing his fame. Here the narrator whose childhood was reflected in Swann ?s Way moves further through childhood and into adolescence, as the author brilliantly examines themes of love and youth, in settings in Paris and by the sea in Normandy. The reader again encounters Swann, now married to his former mistress and largely fallen from high society, and meets for the first time several of Proust ?s most memorable characters: the handsome, dashing Robert de Saint-Loup, who will become the narrator ?s best friend; the enigmatic Albertine, leader of the ?little band ? of adolescent girls; the profoundly artistic Elstir, believed to be Proust ?s composite of Whistler, Monet, and other leading painters; and, making his unforgettable entrance near the end of the volume, the intense, indelible Baron de Charlus. Permeated by the ?bloom of youth ? and its resonances in memories of love and friendship, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower takes readers into the heart of Proust ?s comic and poetic genius. As with Swann ?s Way, Carter uses C. K. Scott Moncrieff ?s beloved translation as the basis for this annotated and fully revised edition. Carter corrects long-standing errors in Scott Moncrieff ?s otherwise superlative translation, bringing it closer than ever to the spirit and style of Proust ?s original text ?and reaching English readers in a way that the Pl©?iade annotations cannot. Insightful and accessible, Carter ?s edition of Marcel Proust ?s masterwork will be the go-to text for generations of readers seeking to understand Proust ?s remarkable bygone world.
