The Complete Short Stories of Marcel Proust

This work provides a translation of Marcel Proust's collection "Pleasures and Days", as well as six stories translated into English for the first time. Together they comprise a composite portrait of early 20th century Parisian street, salon, and bedroom scenes, and explores themes of vanity.

One of the great literary figures of the modern age, French novelist Marcel Proust (1871-1922) probes the precarious mental and erotic nuances of love, the frail mysteries of time passing and time past in highly original, surprising tales. Includes a new translation of the complete text of Pleasures and Days, Proust's only short-story collection, and six tales previously uncollected and never before available in English.
