The definitive translation of a truly great French novel - Proust's
beautiful, atmospheric story of memory and loss. This is the first
volume of In Search of Lost Time, one of the greatest French novels
of the twentieth century. Travelling back through time, the
narrator tells the story of events long since past - his childhood
happiness and sadness, and memories brought famously back to life
by the taste of a madeleine. His family's friend and neighbour, the
aristocratic Swann, weaves through the tale. We learn of Swann's
passionate love affair with Odette, a jealous love that creates a
model for the narrator's own relationships. All Proust's great
themes begin here: time and memory, love and loss, art and the
artistic vocation. THE ACCLAIMED FULLY REVISED EDITION OF THE SCOTT
