Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time is one of the most entertaining reading experiences in any language and arguably the finest novel of the twentieth century.

Swann's Way is one of the preeminent novels of childhood: a sensitive boy's impressions of his family and neighbours, all brought dazzlingly back to life years later by the taste of a madeleine.

It also enfolds the short novel "Swann in Love," an incomparable study of sexual jealousy that becomes a crucial part of the vast, unfolding structure of In Search of Lost Time.

The first volume of the work that established Proust as one of the finest voices of the modern age—satirical, sceptical, confiding, and endlessly varied in its response to the human condition—Swann's Way also stands on its own as a perfect rendering of a life in art, of the past re-created through memory.
