Product Details

GR 4.16 Swann's Way is the first volume of Marcel Proust's seven-part novel In Search of Lost Time (also known as Remembrance of Things Past), published in 1913, and is famous for its exploration of memory, time, and art, particularly through the iconic madeleine cake scene. It introduces the narrator's childhood in Combray and includes a long section, "Swann in Love," detailing Charles Swann's obsessive affair with Odette de Crécy, setting the stage for the entire work's themes of love, social hierarchy, and the recreation of the past through memory.
