"The bonds that unite us to another human being are sanctified when he or she adopts the same point of view as ourselves in judging one of our imperfections." ― Marcel Proust, Within a Budding Grove Within a Budding Grove (1919) by Marcel Proust recounts the experiences of the narrator as he is growing up.

Antoine Bibesco seul me comprend, a crit Marcel Proust dans une lettre qui a t publi e neuf ans apr s sa mort. Cette phrase m'a ravi. Mais elle implique des devoirs. Pour comprendre la publication de ces lettres, une explication est n cessaire: une explication g ographique d'abord. Marcel Proust habitait au 44, rue de Courcelles; moi j'habitais au 69 de la m me rue. Il suffisait de conna tre Marcel Proust, m me un peu, pour savoir qu'on avait affaire un des hommes les plus intelligents de cette terre. Quand je le connus, son accueil charmant m'encourageait le voir, surtout qu'il tait toujours chez lui...

Now available for the first time in the United States, a celebrated translation of the first volume of Proust's In Search of Lost Time. Swann's Way, the first of the seven volumes that constitute Marcel Proust's lifework, In Search of Lost Time, introduces the larger themes of the whole sequence while standing on its own as a brilliant evocation of the French Belle poque. Here we encounter Proust's narrator, restless and unfulfilled in middle age, his life weighing on him as a burden of things forgotten and things undone, until quite by chance he is brought to remember the world of his childhood, his clinging attachment to his mother, his dread of his father, summers in the country and the two walks his family regularly took, one by a great aristocratic estate, the other by the house of a certain Charles Swann, to whom a mystery was attached. A child's world and the world of adults the child can only begin to imagine unfurl before us, and Proust's pages spill over with incident and puzzlement, pathos and humor. The novel then takes a further step into the past to tell of the goings-on at the Parisian salon of the bourgeois Verdurins, where social climbing and artistic accomplishment exist in incongruous and comic conjunction, and of Swann's infatuation with the courtesan Odette. Swann, man about town and familiar of royalty, is soon reduced to walking after midnight, unrecognizable to himself and to his friends, forlorn as a child awaiting a goodnight kiss, no thought in his head but love--and in Proust's universe there is no more terrible affliction. James Grieve began his career as a translator of Proust in the early 1970s, driven by his dismay at how many readers deemed In Search of Lost Time to be too difficult for them to take on. Grieve's artful and celebrated version of Swann's Way--only now available outside his native Australia--shows that this is hardly the case. Proust's great narrative covers the whole gamut of human experiences and emotions, but to read it is to know joy.

Swann's Way', the first volume of Marcel Proust's monumental novel 'Remembrance of Things Past', is a rich and complex exploration of memory, time, and the inner workings of the human mind. The book follows the narrator's reminiscences of his childhood in the French countryside, and his encounters with the enigmatic Charles Swann and his lover, Odette. The novel's vivid, descriptive prose is a hallmark of Proust's writing, and the book is renowned for its deep psychological insights and its evocative portrayal of the sensory experiences of everyday life. The themes of love, jealousy, and social status are woven throughout the narrative, and the book's intricate structure and nonlinear chronology invite readers to reflect on the nature of memory and the passing of time. 'Swann's Way' is a masterful work of literature and a foundational text of modernist writing. Its influence can be seen in the works of countless authors who followed in Proust's footsteps, and it remains a must-read for anyone interested in the art of the novel.
