About this product

Product Information

Pleasures and Days is rich in language and detail, and by turns satirical and moving, Proust's stories - presented here in Andrew Brown's nuanced translation, the only edition currently in print - are layered with imagery and feeling and foreshadow the themes and psychological atmosphere of his later masterpiece.

Product is 95% alike picture but a little more blurry. Controller play well but had a notice from psn that my joypad wasn't authentic and could by problematic🤷‍♂️ no trouble so far! Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Valuable Insights into a Young Marcel Proust

    I gave this book-- "Pleasures and Days"-- five stars because it contains so much heady, juicy, early prose from the young genius Marcel Proust. Much of this book was written when Proust was in his early twenties. Then again, I'm coming at this work backwards, having just spent fourteen months reading Proust's "In Search of Lost Time"-- not once, but once and half! And when I found out that there was an earlier Proust work-- ie-- "Pleasures and Days"-- I sure as heck wanted to read that too, knowing I would be meeting up with Proust and his obsessions at a root level. In some ways the book reveals Proust as a very young, romantically inclined snob, but what a snob he was! What powers of perception he was mastering that would feed into his singular work, the many volumes of "In Search of ...
