In Search of Lost Time is his major work, developed during the last decade of his life. He died in 1922.

As close to being a definitive English version of the great novel as we are likely to get. This new edition will serve to introduce new generations of readers to what Somerset Maugham rightly described as the greatest novel of our century.” — Allan Massie, Scotsman

“The best reading version yet.” — The Times
