The second volume of In Search of Lost Time, one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century

James Grieve's acclaimed new translation of In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower will introduce a new century of American readers to the literary riches of Marcel Proust. As the second volume in the superb edition of In Search of Lost Time--the first completely new translation of Proust's novel since the 1920s--it brings us a more comic and lucid prose than English readers have previously been able to enjoy. In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower is Proust's spectacular dissection of male and female adolescence, charged with the narrator's memories of Paris and the Normandy seaside. At the heart of the story lie his relationships with his grandmother and with the Swann family.

As a meditation on different forms of love, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower has no equal. Here, Proust introduces some of his greatest comic inventions, from the magnificently dull Monsieur de Norpois to the enchanting Robert de Saint-Loup. It is memorable as well for the first appearance of the two figures who for better or worse are to dominate the narrator's life--the Baron de Charlus and the mysterious Albertine.

Really slim - err on the side of caution even when using the size guide
Color: Deep Green, Size: Large
Men's Slim Fit 3-Piece Tuxedo Set, One Button Shawl Collar Jacket Vest Pants for Party, Business and Wedding When they say slim fit, they mean it. I’m normally a large. I used their size guide to make sure I chose the right size, and when it arrived, it definitely was too small in the shoulders and the stomach (ahem). That being said, my weight fluctuates a lot, so I’m sure I’ll be able to wear it sometime. The tuxedo itself is really nice and stylish. It looks good, and even though it’s synthetic, it feels pretty good too.

Appearance nice, fit is a little bulky on the jacket.
Color: Beige, Size: X-Small
It looks very nice. The pants fit very well for my 5' 8.5" son with long legs. The jacket was a little bulkier. We will try to tailor it a little.

Worth every penny! This tuxedo exceeded my expectations. My son looked sharp for senior prom in the dark gray with black accents. The quality, comfort, fit, color, and overall look of this tux was awesome!

I ordered several suits from YND. I started with them when my son was a size 10 now he is a size 14. I bought different colors. They fit and look great on him All the colors are perfect. Great fabric. Very comfortable. Everything is always as described. The price is right. Always on time.

Stylish suit and good quality
The material and fitting is very good. I would recommend to size down if you want a perfect fitting suit or if you don't have time to alter. I purchased a 4T and 5T for a 5 year old with longer torso compared to legs. The 4T ended up as a perfect fit with no room to grow whereas for the 5T the pants ran a little long but other pieces were perfect.
