Produktbeschreibung
The Narrator is a sensitive young man who wishes to become a writer, whose identity is kept vague. As a child, his anxiety at leaving his mother at night and his attempts to force her to come and kiss him goodnight, culminates in a spectacular success, when his father suggests that his mother stay the night with him. The Narrator's anxiety leads to manipulation, much like the manipulation employed by his invalid aunt Leonie and all the lovers in the entire book, who use the same methods of petty tyranny to manipulate and possess their loved ones. Swann's Way is considered to be Marcel Proust's most prominent work, known both for its length and its theme of involuntary memory, the most famous example being the "episode of the madeleine" which occurs early in the first volume. While there is an array of symbolism in the work, it is rarely defined through explicit "keys" leading to moral, romantic or philosophical ideas. The significance of what is happening is often placed within the memory or in the inner contemplation of what is described. This focus on the relationship between experience, memory and writing and the radical de-emphasizing of the outward plot, have become staples of the modern novel but were almost unheard of in 1913.

Autorenporträt
Marcel Proust, born on July 10, 1871, in Paris, was a French novelist best known for his seven-volume masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time. Raised in an affluent family, he struggled with severe asthma, which shaped his introspective nature and literary ambitions. His delicate health kept him close to home, fostering the reflective depth seen in his work.Proust attended the Lycée Condorcet, where he excelled in literature despite frequent illness. He was introduced to Parisian salons, which inspired his detailed depictions of high society. Though he briefly studied law, his passion for writing and the arts guided his career.Proust's magnum opus, published between 1913 and 1927, explores themes of memory, time, and societal transformation. His innovative narrative style, especially his use of "involuntary memory," revolutionized modern literature. Proust worked on his masterpiece until his death on November 18, 1922, leaving an enduring literary legacy.
