Swann's Way
Swann's Way is the first volume of Remembrance of Things Past, Marcel Proust's monumental exploration of memory, time, and human experience. First published in 1913 and translated into English in 1922, the novel introduces readers to Proust's evocative style and themes. It follows the narrator's recollections of his childhood in Combray and his reflections on love, desire, and jealousy through the story of Charles Swann's troubled relationship with Odette de Crécy. Through intricate prose, Proust examines how memories, triggered by sensory experiences, shape our identities and perceptions of reality.
