"Swann’s Way" was first published in 1913 and is the first volume of Proust’s " In Search of Lost Time", a chronicle of the Belle Époque in France (the years preceding World War One). "Swann’s Way" is a novel made up of three different sections: Combray, where the narrator describes his childhood and illness, Swann in Love, where we are introduced to his love for a woman named Odette, and Place-Names: the Name, where the narrator tells us about the journeys he dreams of taking, were it not for his illness.
Proust self-published "Swann’s Way" after it was rejected by a range of publishers, who failed to see the merit of a book “describing how he tosses and turns in a bed before falling asleep”. They would later regret this decision, as " In Search of Lost Time" was greeted with great enthusiasm by Proust’s contemporaries and continues to be read and analyzed to this day.
" In Search of Lost Time" is composed by seven magnificent volumes:
- Volume One: "Swann's Way"
- Volume Two: "In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower"
- Volume Three: "The Guermantes Way"
- Volume Four: "Sodom and Gomorrah"
- Volume Five: "The Prisoner"
- Volume Six: "The Fugitive"
- Volume Seven: "Time Regained"
