Swann's Way Paperback - 1989

by Marcel Proust

The definitive translation of the bestselling and best-known book of Marcel Proust's sequence Remembrance of Things Past.


From the publisher

From the French novelist, essayist, critic, and one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century: the first volume of his monumental masterpiece, one of the most sensitive renderings of childhood in fiction and a brilliant meditation on the recreation of the past through art and memory.

Swann's Way is the most frequently read part of Proust's epic novel, Remembrance of Things Past (also known as In Search of Lost Time). It introduces subjects that resonate throughout the entire work, including the narrator's love for Swann's daughter Gilberte, Swann's jealous passion for Odette, and the rise of the nouveaux-riches Verdurins. Proust's narrator vividly recalls his childhood in Paris and Combray, most famously in a fraught evocation of his mother's good-night kiss and in the iconic scene where the taste of a madeleine dipped in tea brings back a flood of memory.

From the jacket flap

The first and best known volume of one of the landmarks of world literature. Available separately for those who want to approach Proust carefully!

About the author

MARCEL PROUST was born in 1871 and by his twenties was a conspicuous figure in fashionable Parisian society. After 1907, however, he rarely emerged from a cork-lined room in his apartment on the Boulevard Haussmann, devoting himself to his writing. He died in 1922 before the publication of the last three volumes of his great work.
