However, the binding remains firm, and the pages are clean and free from inscriptions or library markings.

"Swann's Way / Within a Budding Grove" by Marcel Proust, published by Random House in 1934, presents the first two volumes of Proust's monumental work "In Search of Lost Time."

Published in New York, this edition captures the essence of early 20th-century literature, marking a significant contribution to the modernist literary movement. The book's lack of a dust jacket and its classic linen cover with red striping makes it a distinctive find for collectors. The condition is fair, with some wear on the spine and cover, but the integrity of the text remains intact. This edition is an essential acquisition for those interested in classic literature and the evolution of narrative form.
