Omar Nimer Nimer من عند Przechody, بولندا من عند Przechody, بولندا

Despite my initial reluctance to pick up where I left off by reading a new translation, I was very relieved to find out that the new version is actually very good. I'm planning to read the next volume in the new translation as well, but I'll finish off the remaining two with the good old Moncrieff version. In addition to having some wonderfully amusing scenes and commentary about the society and salons of the narrator's Paris, this volume also contained a couple of my favorite sections I've encountered, including the narrator's attempts to communicate with his grandmother using the telephone, and the amazingly rendered sequence leading up to his grandmother's death.
