Review
“As close to being a definitive English version of the great novel as we are likely to get. This new edition will serve to introduce new generations of readers to what Somerset Maugham rightly described as the greatest novel of our century.” -- Allan Massie, Scotsman
“The best reading version yet.” -- The Times --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Book Description
Since the original prewar translation there has been no completely new rendering of the French original into English. This translation brings to the fore a more sharply engaged, comic and lucid Proust. "In Search of Lost Time" is one of the greatest, most entertaining reading experiences in any language. As the great story unfolds from its magical opening scenes to its devastating end, it is the "Penguin Proust" that makes Proust accessible to a new generation. Each volume is translated by a different, superb translator working under the general editorship of Professor Christopher Prendergast, University of Cambridge.

Some jumbled text, May 25 2010
By John M. Robinson "jakeboyo" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This Kindle Modern Library version has some jumbled text at certain points - something I have not encountered in the Penguin ebooks.

a brilliant new translation, Sep 2 2010
By Stephen Fall - Published on Amazon.com
First off, let me emphasize that I am reviewing the Penguin translation, listed on the Amazon website as In Search of Lost Time Volume III (Penguin Modern Classics eBook) (v. 3). Another reviewer complains that the MODERN LIBRARY e-book has some "jumbled text." You can safely ignore that review, since it refers to an altogether different translation. This appears to be an error introduced by Amazon itself. You can read more about these dueling translations at ReadingProust dot com -- or better yet invest in The 14-Minute Marcel Proust: A Very Short Guide to the Greatest Novel Ever Written, which has links to the various e-book versions.
