Swann's Way (1913) is the first volume of Marcel Proust's
seven-part novel In Search of Lost Time. Written while Proust was
virtually confined to his bedroom from a lifelong respiratory
illness, Swann's Way is a story of memory, history, family, and
romance from a master of Modernist literature. Praised by Virginia
Woolf, Vladimir Nabokov, Michael Chabon, and Graham Greene, In
Search of Lost Time explores the nature of memory and time while
illuminating the history of homosexuality in nineteenth century
Europe. For a long time I used to go to bed early." Alone in his
bedroom, the narrator meditates on sleep, dreams, and the passing
of time. Spurred into memory by the taste of a madeleine dipped in
a cup of lime blossom tea, he recalls his childhood in Combray, a
rural village on the outskirts of Paris. Slowly, faces and names
from the past come back to him-he recalls a neighbor named Swann,
whose promising marriage proved disastrous; his Jewish friend
Bloch, who introduced him to literature; and the walks he would
take with his parents through the beautiful countryside. As he
grows and learns, he begins to recognize the reality concealed by
convention: the secret liaisons between lovers; the petty
competitions of artists; the fleeting nature of affection and lust
alike. Written in flowing prose, Swann's Way is a masterpiece of
twentieth century fiction that continues to entertain and astound
over a century after it appeared in print. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Marcel Proust's Swann's Way is a classic work of French
literature reimagined for modern readers.
