Description: English translation of Sur la lecture, which was originally published in 1906 as the preface to the author's translation of Sesame and lilies, by John Ruskin.
Review Quotes: "Proust's glorious and much anthologised essay on reading originally appeared as a preface to his translation of some lectures by John Ruskin; the excellent idea of this volume is to bring together both "On Reading" and one of the Ruskin lectures, complete with Proust's own footnotes, plus a few other short Proustian prefaces, so that we may see the ideas of the famous essay being born." --Guardian
