Features: The original translation of In Search of Lost Time by Jianglin Press was awarded the "National Best Selling Book Award" and the First Prize of the National Best Foreign Literature Books Award." Since the copyright of the original translation has expired, and the translation was jointly undertaken by fifteen translators with inconsistent styles, leaving many shortcomings. This time, Jianglin Press has had the book retranslated by Mr. Xu Hejin, a former professor of the French Department at Fudan University, a renowned translator, and the only corresponding researcher of the French Proust Studies Association in China. The retranslation has received strong support from Jean Mié, Director of the French Proust Studies Association, in terms of selecting the French text version and translating some specific vocabulary.
