Swann's Way
'Swann's Way' Summary
Swann's Way is the first volume of Marcel Proust's monumental seven-volume work, *In Search of Lost Time*. The novel chronicles the narrator's childhood and adolescence in late 19th-century France, exploring themes of memory, time, love, and the complexities of human consciousness. Known for its intricate prose, introspective style, and profound psychological insights, *Swann's Way* is considered one of the most important and influential works of modern literature. Proust's innovative use of the concept of involuntary memory, most famously illustrated through the 'madeleine' episode, captures the power of sensory experiences to evoke deeply buried memories and emotions.Book Details
