A new 2023 translation of Marcel Proust's 1913 Swann's Way (Du côté de chez Swann), the first novel in the series In Search of Lost Time. This edition contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Proust's life and works and a glossary of philosophic concepts in his body of work. "Swann's Way" is the first volume of Marcel Proust's monumental 7-part novel, "In Search of Lost Time" (À la recherche du temps perdu). It introduces the themes and characters that will unfold throughout the seven-volume work. The novel revolves around the narrator's memories of his childhood and his fascination with the wealthy Charles Swann and his love affair with Odette de Crécy. Proust explores the themes of memory, time, love, and the power of art. "Swann's Way" serves as an entry point into Proust's complex exploration of human perception and the impact of memory on our lives, and the massive art project that is In Search of Lost Time.
