Swann's Way by Marcel Proust
QR code
"Swann's Way" by Marcel Proust is a novel published in 1913, the first volume of his seven-part masterwork "In Search of Lost Time." Through a narrator's recollections of childhood in late nineteenth-century France, Proust explores the revolutionary theme of involuntary memory. The volume includes the famous madeleine cake episode and "Swann in Love," a self-contained story of Charles Swann's passionate affair with Odette de Crécy. Initially rejected by multiple publishers, Proust paid
for its publication himself, launching what would become one of the twentieth century's most influential novels. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
