New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2023. Presented for the first time in English, the recently discovered early manuscripts of the twentieth century's most towering literary figure offer uncanny glimpses of his emerging genius and the creation of his masterpiece. The Seventy-Five Folios and Other Unpublished Manuscripts contain early versions of six episodes later included in Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time. Discovered in 2018 and presented here for the first time in English, the folios reveal the autobiographical extent of Proust's work and the "sacred moment" when his genius blossomed.
