[EAN: 9780701181079], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [SC: 4.1], [PU: Vintage Publishing, United Kingdom, London], JEAN FINDLAY CHASING LOST TIME THE LIFE OF C.K. SCOTT MONCRIEFF SOLDIER SPY AND TRANSLATOR, C. K. Scott Moncrieffs celebrated translation of Prousts A La Recherche du Temps Perdu was first published in 1922 and was a work which would exhaust and consume the translator, leading to his early death at the age of just forty. Joseph Conrad told him, I was more interested and fascinated by your rendering than by Prousts creation: some literary figures even felt it was an improvement on the original. From the outside an enigma, Scott Moncrieff left a trail of writings that describe a man expert at living a paradoxical life: fervent Catholic convert and homosexual, gregarious party-goer and deeply lonely, interwar spy in Mussolinis Italy and public man of letters a man for whom honour was the most abiding principle. He was a decorated war hero, and his letters home are an unusually light take on day-to-day life on the front. Described as offensively brave, he was severely injured in 1917 and, convalescing in London, became a lynchpin of literary society friends with Robert Graves and Noel Coward, enemies with Siegfried Sassoon and in love with Wilfred Owen. Written by Scott Moncrieffs great-great-niece, Jean Findlay, with exclusive access to the family archive, Chasing Lost Time is a portrait of a man hurled into war, through an era when the world was changing fast and forever, who brought us the greatest epic of time and memory that has ever been written. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine., Books<
