About Swann's Way
"Many years have passed since that night. The wall of the staircase up which I had watched the light of his candle gradually climb was long ago demolished. And in myself, too, many things have perished which I imagined would last for ever, and new ones have arisen, giving birth to new sorrows and new joys which in those days I could not have foreseen, just as now the old are hard to understand."
Swann's Way is the first of seven books that comprise In Search of Lost Time (A la recherche du temps perdu, 1913-1927), an opus that established French author Marcel Proust as one of the finest voices of the modern age. Filled with rich details of French bourgeois and aristocratic life at the turn of the century, the novel explores Proust's central concerns: the meaning of love and time, as understood through an individual's memories.
In looking back on his life and childhood, the narrator seeks an answer to the question of what exactly an individual's identity consists of. A beautiful, moving exploration of a life in art and of the past created anew through memory.
