Beschreibung

Swann in Love is the continuation of Swann's Way, the first part of Marcel Proust's monumental cycle Remembrance of Things Past. It tells the story of man-about-town Charles Swann's passionate, tormented love affair with the courtesan Odette de Crécy, and of its surprising outcome. Set in the degenerate demi-monde of 19th century Paris as well as in the fashionable drawingrooms of the aristocracy, this new audiobook vividly brings to life the descriptive genius of the original novel.

Autor

Born in Paris in 1871, Marcel Proust is widely regarded as one of the twentieth century's most influential authors. His life's work, the novel In Search of Lost Time, was published in seven volumes between 1913 and 1927. Although he lived out his last years in almost complete isolation, writing by night and resting by day, as a younger man Proust was a well-connected socialite, moving in the very circles depicted in his writings. His refined and introspective prose explores the power and limitations of memory and emotion. Despite having to finance the first volume of In Search of Lost Time himself, Proust left an indelible mark on world literature. He died in 1922.
