Swann Way, The by Marcel Proust, Brian Nelson (Translator), Adam Watt (Editor, Introduction); 1913/2023. Softcover. (Oxford World's Classics)

The Swann Way is the first volume of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time (1913-27), one of the most important novels of the twentieth century. The work is a portal to Proust's novel and an introduction to its unforgettable first-person narrator-protagonist. Immersed in themes of time, memory, identity, art, sensation, love, and jealousy, the narrator embarks on the story of his life and the paths he takes towards fulfilling his vocation as awriter. Principally focused on the narrator's childhood, this volume lays the foundation of Proust's extraordinary literary edifice.
