In Search of Lost Time (French: A la recherche du temps perdu) previously also translated as Remembrance of Things Past, is a novel in seven volumes, written by Marcel Proust (18711922). It is considered to be his most prominent work, known both for its length and its theme of involuntary memory, the most famous example being the "episode of the madeleine" which occurs early in the first volume. It gained fame in English in translations by C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin as Remembrance of Things Past, but the title In Search of Lost Time, a literal rendering of the French, has gained usage since D. J. Enright adopted it for his revised translation published in 1992. The novel began to take shape in 1909. Proust continued to work on it until his final illness in the autumn of 1922 forced him to break off. Proust established the structure early on, but even after volumes were initially finished he kept adding new material and edited one volume after another for publication. The last three of the seven volumes contain oversights and fragmentary or unpolished passages, as they existed only in draft form at the death of the author; the publication of these parts was overseen by his brother Robert.Included: - Swanns Way- Within a Budding Grove- The Guermantes Way- Cities of The Plain- The Captive- The Sweet Cheat Gone- Time Regained- Notes

In Swanns Way, the inaugural volume of Prousts monumental seven-part series In Search of Lost Time, the narrative unfolds through a rich tapestry of memory, time, and desire. Proust employs a stream-of-consciousness style that intricately depicts the protagonists introspections and associations, blending tender recollections with philosophical musings. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century French society, the novel explores themes of love, art, and social ambition, primarily through the lens of Charles Swanns unrequited love for Odette de Crecy, establishing a profound exploration of the complexities of human emotion and perception. Marcel Proust, a key figure in early 20th-century literature, was deeply influenced by his own life experiences, particularly his reflections on memory and the passage of time. His upbringing in bourgeois Parisian society and struggles with illness informed his exploration of existential questions in his writing. Swanns Way draws from his personal encounters and relationships, serving as a polished gem that illuminates the intricacies of both intimate and societal connections. Readers seeking a profound, introspective journey into the labyrinth of memory and identity will find Swanns Way an indispensable exploration.
