Produktbeschreibung
The first volume of Proust's seven-part novel "In Search of Lost Time," also known as "A Remembrance of Things Past," "Swann's Way" is the auspicious beginning of Proust's 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 dream-like 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 Swann's little daughter, Gilberte. Through a fragmented narrative, Proust examines the thematic importance of memory, time, and art that connect and interweave the protagonist's memories. Considered to be one of the twentieth century's 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 acid-free paper and follows the translation of C. K. Scott Moncrieff.

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.
