Marcel Proust's classic novel Swann's Way is replete with
recollections of the distant past. This is the first volume of the
acclaimed series: Remembrance of Things Past, also named In Search
of Lost Time. Originally written and published in 1909, this
premier entry in Proust's series contains some of the finest prose
fiction Proust ever authored. Although lengthy, no sacrifice is
made with the signature style Proust had cultivated by the time he
commenced Swann's Way - recollections are written relentlessly, of
places, names, items and other such paraphernalia of life. The
narrator gradually builds up a plot surrounding his own life and
activities. The titular character, Charles Swann is an associate of
the narrator's family who receives particular interest in the
story. The first scene recounts a dinner in which Swann was in
attendance, noting his characteristics. By stages, a compelling
story unfolds with Swann's affections for the former courtesan
Odette de Crecy explored.
