Summary

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.

Pleasures and Days Reviews

Pleasure and Days yields the earliest blooms from [Proust's] emerging, lifelong fascination with the labyrinths of snobbery and sexuality in Parisian high society. * The Independent *
