되찾은 시간 2
『잃어버린 시간을 찾아서』는 총 7편에 이르는 연작 소설로서, 그 분량을 합하면 수천 쪽에 이르는 방대한 작품이다. 2013년 첫 책인 1편 「스완네 집 쪽으로」를 『잃어버린 시간을 찾아서』 출간 100주년을 맞아 펴낸 이래, 민음사에서는 7편 「되찾은 시간」을 끝으로 10년 만인 2022년에 프루스트의 『잃어버린 시간을 찾아서』 완역을 성취했다.
국내 최초의 ‘프루스트 전공자’인 김희영 한국외국어대학교 명예 교수가 “프루스트 전공자로서 사명감과 용기를 가지고” 번역에 모든 정열과 노력을 쏟아부은 필생의 역작이다. 1985년 국내 처음으로 번역된 판본(1954년판)과는 달리, 1987년 출간된 프랑스 플레이아드 전집 판본을 새로운 저본으로 삼아, 현재까지도 계속되는 프루스트 연구자들의 주석 작업 그리고 영미권, 중국과 일본 등 여러 국가의 판본들을 비교, 참고해서 진행한 이번 번역서는 그야말로 프루스트의 ‘정본’이라 할 만하다.

About the author
Marcel Proust
2,148 books7,511 followersMarcel Proust was a French novelist, best known for his 3000 page masterpiece À la recherche du temps perdu (Remembrance of Things Past or In Search of Lost Time), a pseudo-autobiographical novel told mostly in a stream-of-consciousness style.
Born in the first year of the Third Republic, the young Marcel, like his narrator, was a delicate child from a bourgeois family. He was active in Parisian high society during the 80s and 90s, welcomed in the most fashionable and exclusive salons of his day. However, his position there was also one of an outsider, due to his Jewishness and homosexuality. Towards the end of 1890s Proust began to withdraw more and more from society, and although he was never entirely reclusive, as is sometimes made out, he lapsed more completely into his lifelong tendency to sleep during the day and work at night. He was also plagued with severe asthma, which had troubled him intermittently since childhood, and a terror of his own death, especially in case it should come before his novel had been completed. The first volume, after some difficulty finding a publisher, came out in 1913, and Proust continued to work with an almost inhuman dedication on his masterpiece right up until his death in 1922, at the age of 51.
Today he is widely recognized as one of the greatest authors of the 20th Century, and À la recherche du temps perdu as one of the most dazzling and significant works of literature to be written in modern times.
