Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences-biographical, historical, and literary-to enrich each readers understanding of these enduring works. Swann's Way is the first novel of Marcel Proust's seven-volume magnum opus À la rechercheé du temps perdu, or Remembrance of Things Past. Following Charles Swann's opening ruminations about the nature of sleep is one of twentieth-century literature's most famous and influential scenes: the eating of the madeleine soaked in a "decoction of lime-flowers," the associative act from which the remainder of the narrative unfurls. After elaborate reminiscences about Swann's childhood in Paris and rural Combray, Proust describes his protagonist's exploits in nineteenth-century privileged Parisian society and his obsessive love for young socialite Odette de Crécy. Filled with searing, insightful, and humorous criticisms of French society, this novel showcases Proust's innovative prose style, characterized by lengthy, intricate sentences that elongate, stop, and reverse time. With narration that alternates between first and third person, Swann's Way unconventionally introduces Proust's recurring themes of memory, love, art, and the human experience-and for nearly a century readers have deliciously savored each moment.
