There is a higher quality version of the same recording at https://audiobookbay.is/abss/withinb-a-budding-grove-remembrance-of-things-past-volume-2-marcel-proust/. Im adding this version for people who might be interested in having an M4B file., Remembrance of Things Past is one of the monuments of 20th century literature. Neville Jasons widely praised abridged version has rightly become an audiobook landmark and now, upon numerous requests, he is recording the whole work unabridged which, when complete, will run for some 140 hours., Within a Budding Grove is the second of seven volumes. The young narrator, experiencing his youthful sexuality, falls under the spell of a group of adolescent girls, succumbs to the charms of the enchanting Gilberte, and visits a brothel where he meets Rachel. His impressions of life are also stimulated by the painter, Elstir, and his encounter with another girl, Albertine.
