The Collected Poems: A Dual-Language Edition with Parallel Text

Proust wrote poems as well as novels, and this dual-language Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition sets the French originals beside English translations on facing pages. Edited by Harold Augenbraum, the volume gathers verse that has largely been out of reach for English readers and gives it scholarly framing: an introduction, notes, and a parallel-text layout that lets anyone with some French check a translation against the original line by line. The poems range across memory, friendship, love, social observation and humour, and together they show a major novelist working in a different register and at a much smaller scale. For the shelf: • Facing-page French and English throughout • Introduction and notes prepared by Harold Augenbraum • Poems appearing in English translation for the first time • Penguin Classics Deluxe production values Of particular interest to poetry readers, translators and students of French literature, and available from Boipoka.
