The cover also veers away from the all-#Monet theme. This is Friends at the Theatre by #Degas. The guy on the left is Ludovic Halévy, dad of Proust's friend Daniel.

I haven't even gotten Peter Bush's The Guermantes Way in the mail, but here it is, a release date for Helen Constantine's Sodom and Gomorrah. (The Blackwell's release date is three months earlier, for some reason.) #Proust #OxfordProust #Proustsky global.oup.com/academic/pro...

There is the religion and philosophy stuff of course but, make no mistake, Dick Wolf owes Law & Order to this. Happy birthday, #Dostoevsky.

I don't think there's even another English translation around. I found one on Amazon, but take a look at this sketchy table of contents. ("Error! Bookmark not defined." What?)

“…I let the cheap wine of this popular enthusiasm go to my head. Once the curtain had fallen, though, I still felt disappointed that the pleasure I'd so longed for hadn't been greater…” #Proust, tr. @avecsesdoigts.bsky.social. Happy birthday, Sarah Bernhardt. #Proustsky

I’ve had this for a while, a fun read after my first Search. Just found out at my local indie that it’s finally available in paperback. The Seventy-Five Folios & Other Unpublished Manuscripts, ed. Nathalie Mauriac Dyer, tr. Sam Taylor, Belknap Press of @harvardpress.bsky.social. #Proust #Proustsky

I got this #translation of The Plague by Buss after ditching Marris. I just finished Part 4 and quite like it—not prim and flowery like Gilbert, and nothing like Marris. I just don't think that in order to sound modern and plainspoken one has to indulge in so much incorrect grammar. #Camus #booksky

I’ve been reading #AnneTyler since my teens, off and on, and have never quite outgrown her, even if these days it’s often to humour my sister and have something to talk to her about. I’m several years late with this one. By the way, look at that gorgeous #font (Celeste, Chris Burke, 1994). #booksky

I know it has its fans but I really hate this #translation. I stopped at the end of chapter 3, bought the Robin Buss, and am waiting for it in the mail. (I had previously nixed the Stuart Gilbert.) It’s the only other available. Let’s see if it’s any better. #Camus #Camussky

I rarely read poetry so it's been slow going, just taking it in in bits and pieces for now. But I'm enjoying this #translation of Les Fleurs du mal by Nathan Brown (2021, Verso 2024). At some point, I'd like to compare it with Richard Howard's. Sample below, one of the "banned" ones. #Baudelaire

#Cervantes has some VERY strong opinions about #translation, even if (maybe) tongue-in-cheek since the novel we are reading in Spanish is supposedly a translation from Arabic. (And so the novel I'm reading is a translation of that supposed translation.)

It's too bad that Gilberte’s letter gets short shrift since we know her fancy signature ("le G historié") comes back hauntingly in The Fugitive. #Proust #Proustsky

I got a copy of Stéphane Heuet’s À l’ombre graphic novel adaptation in French because I don’t think “Autour de Mme Swann” was ever translated to English. Some really striking images here. Also a bit of a French workout for me. #Proust #Proustsky

See previous post for the #ReynaldoHahn setting of "Si mes vers avaient des ailes" by #VictorHugo, performed by Karina Gauvin and Marc-André Hamelin. Text and translation by Richard Stokes are transcribed in the alt-text of this post. Lovely use of the conditional. 🤗 #Proust #Proustsky

Not to forget, #AContinuation25. Paintings in Proust by Eric Karpeles is a priceless resource on the artists and paintings in the Search. Get the hardcover if you can; the colour reproduction is better. The paperback adds one painting, by Le Sidaner, which the narrator will tell you is no big loss.
