Wolfe\u003c\/b\u003e (Editor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly in his career, Marcel Proust, who greatly admired John Ruskin, published translations of two works by the English critic - \u003ci\u003eLa Bible d'Amiens \u003c\/i\u003e(1900) and \u003ci\u003eSésame et les Lys \u003c\/i\u003e(1906). He wrote a substantial preface to each book and provided discursive notes that were themselves often small essays. Rare now, even in their French versions, the preface to \u003ci\u003eLa Bible d'Amiens \u003c\/i\u003eand the notes to both books have never before been available in English. In bringing them together with the preface to \u003ci\u003eSésame et les Lys\u003c\/i\u003e, this new book completes the translation into English of the important critical writings of Proust. \u003cbr\u003e\"Expertly edited and translated and . . . introduced by a brilliant forty-page essay and a fascinating bibliographical note by Richard Macksey. It is an event for celebration. . . . Proust emerges from these essays and notes as one of the truly great critics.\"--Gabriel Josipovici, \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A welcome addition to English-language Proust texts and, I think, one long overdue.\"--Germain Brée, Kenan Professor Emerita, Wake Forest University \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 173\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 10, 1989\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47334292750585,"sku":"9780300045031","price":61.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/wHwPMnLbu29780300045031_296b4891-689e-495c-af66-c2f73723f1fb.webp?v=1769648747","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/on-reading-ruskin-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
