I have lived my life in the service of words: finding where they hide in the convoluted recesses of the brain, studying their layers of meaning and form, and teaching their secrets to the young.
-- Preface
These two dimensions of the reading brain's development and evolution—the personal-intellectual and the biological—are rarely described together, but there are critical and wonderful lessons to be discovered in doing just that. In this book I use the celebrated French novelist Marcel Proust as metaphor and the largely underappreciated squid as analogy for two very different aspects of reading. Proust saw reading as a kind of intellectual "sanctuary," where human beings have access to thousands of different realities they might never encounter or understand otherwise. Each of these new realities is capable of transforming readers' intellectual lives without ever requiring them to leave the comfort of their armchairs.

■ロシア語訳 Translation into Russian
Мама велела подать мне одно из тех кругленьких и пузатеньких пирожных, называемых Petites Madeleines, формочками для которых как будто служат желобчатые раковины моллюсков из вида морских гребешков. [Omission] я машинально поднес к своим губам ложечку чаю, в котором намочил кусочек мадлены. Но в то самое мгновение, когда: глоток чаю с крошками пирожного коснулся моегь неба, я взррогнул, пораженный необыкновенностью происходящего во мне. Сладостное ощущение широкой волной разлилось по мне, казалось, без всякой причины. [Omission]
И вдруг воспоминание всплыло передо мной. Вкус этот был вкусом кусочка мадлены, которым по воскресным утрам в Комбре [Omission] угощала меня тетя Леония, предварительно намочив его в чае или в настойке из липового цвета, когда я приходил в ее комнату поздороваться с нею.

She sent for one of those squat, plump cakes called petites madeleines that look as though they have been molded in the grooved valve of a scallop-shell. [Omission] I carried to my lips a spoonful of the tea in which I had let soften a piece of madeleine. But at the very instant when the mouthful of tea mixed with cake-crumbs touched my palate, I quivered, attentive to the extraordinary thing that was happening in me. A delicious pleasure had invaded me, isolated me, without my having any notion as to its cause. [Omission]
And suddenly the memory revealed itself. The taste was that of the little piece of madeleine which on Sunday mornings at Combray [Omission], when I went to say good morning to her in her bedroom, my aunt Leonie used to give me, dipping it first in her own cup of tea or tisane.

She sent out for one of those short, plump little cakes called 'petites madeleines,' which look as though they had been moulded in the fluted scallop of a pilgrim's shell. [Omission] I raised to my lips a spoonful of the tea in which I had soaked a morsel of the cake. No sooner had the warm liquid, and the crumbs with it, touched my palate than a shudder ran through my whole body, and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary changes that were taking place. An exquisite pleasure had invaded my senses, but individual, detached, with no suggestion of its origin. [Omission]
And suddenly the memory returns. The taste was that of the little crumb of madeleine which on Sunday mornings at Combray [Omission], when I went to say good day to her in her bedroom, my aunt Leonie used to give me, dipping it first in her own cup of real or of lime-flower tea.

Mandó mi madre por uno de esos bollos, cortos y abultados, que llaman magdalenas, que parece que tienen por molde una valva de concha de peregrino. [Omission] me llevé a los labios unas cucharadas de té en el que había echado un trozo de magdalena. Pero en el mismo instante en que aquel trago, con las miga del bollo, tocó mi paladar, me estremecí, fija mi atención en algo extraordinario que ocurría en mi interior. Un placer delicioso me invadió, me aisló, sin noción de lo que lo causaba. [Omission]
Y de pronto el recuerdo surge. Ese sabor es el que tenía el pedazo de magdalena que mi tía Leoncia me ofrecía, después de mojado en su infusión de té o de tilo, los domingos por la mañana en Combray [Omission], cuando iba a darle los buenos días a su cuarto.

1:53:36 Elle envoya chercher un de ces gâteaux courts et dodus appelés Petites Madeleines qui semblaent avoir été moulés dans la valve rainurée d’une coquille de Saint-Jacques [Omission] 1:53:55 je portai à mes lèvres une cuillerée du thé où j’avais laissé s’amollir un morceau de madeleine. Mais à l’instant même où la gorgée mêlée des miettes du gâteau toucha mon palais, je tressaillis, attentif à ce qui se passait d’extraordinaire en moi. Un plaisir délicieux m’avait envahi, isolé, sans la notion de sa cause. [Omission]
1:59:27 Et tout d’un coup le souvenir m’est apparu. Ce goût celui du petit morceau de madeleine que le dimanche matin à Combray [Omission], 1:59:43 quand j’allais lui dire bonjour dans sa chambre, ma tante Léonie m’offrait après l’avoir trempé dans son infusion de thé ou de tilleul.

There are few things humans are more dedicated to than unhappiness. Had we been placed on earth by a malign creator for the exclusive purpose of suffering, we would have good reason to congratulate ourselves on our enthusiastic response to the task. Reasons to be inconsolable abound: the frailty of our bodies, the fickleness of love, the insincerities of social life, the compromises of friendship, the deadening effects of habit. In the face of such persistent ills, we might naturally expect that no event would be awaited with greater anticipation than the moment of our own extinction.

■英語原文 The original text in English
（……）In 1922, both writers were at a black-tie dinner given at the Ritz for Stravinsky, Diaghilev and members of the Russian Ballet, in order to celebrate the first night of Stravinsky's Le Renard. Joyce arrived late and without a dinner jacket, Proust kept his fur coat on throughout the evening and what happened once they were introduced was later reported by Joyce to a friend:
'Our talk consisted solely of the word "Non". Proust asked me if I
knew the work of so-and-so. I said, "Non." Our hostess asked Proust
if he had read such and such a piece of Ulysses. Proust said, "Non."
And so on.'
After dinner, Proust got into his taxi with his hosts, Violet and Sydney Schiff, and without asking, followed them in.（……）
