The first volume of Prousts sevenpart novel "In Search of Lost Time," also known as "A Remembrance of Things Past," "Swanns Way" is the auspicious beginning of Prousts most prominent work. A mature, unnamed man recalls the details of his commonplace, idyllic existence as a sensitive and intuitive boy in Combray. For a time, the story is narrated through his younger mind in beautiful, almost dreamlike prose. In a subsequent section of the volume, the narrator tells of the excruciating romance of his country neighbor, Monsieur Swann. The narrator reverts to his childhood, where he begins a similarly hopeless infatuation with Swanns little daughter, Gilberte. Through a fragmented narrative, Proust examines the thematic importance of memory, time, and art that connect and interweave the protagonists memories. Considered to be one of the twentieth centurys most significant novels, Proust ultimately portrays the volatility of human life in this sweeping contemplation of reality and time. This edition is printed on premium acidfree paper and follows the translation of C. K. Scott Moncrieff.
