"'Swann's Way' is not a book to read on the train, skipping over the pages with one eye on the landscape; it is a book of true originality and profundity to the point of strangeness, claiming the reader's attention and even seizing it forcibly....A novel of analysis, yes; but I know of few novels in which the analysis penetrates so deep. At times you want to cry out, 'Enough!' as to a surgeon who spares no detail in describing an operation. Yet you never say it. You keep on turning the pages feverishly in order to see further into the souls of these characters."
Elie-Joseph Bois, Le Temps, 11/13/1913
Review:"It is a picture of a society that is overcultured and neurotic, highly-strung and anemic, but interesting, human, amusing, civilized."
Burton Rascoe, New York Herald Tribune (1924-1966), 11/26/1922

Book Description: HarperCollins Publishers, United Kingdom, 1996. Audio cassette. Book Condition: New. Abridged edition. 140 x 107 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. In this opening volume of Proust's great novel, the narrator seems at first to be launching a fairly traditional life-story. But after the prelude the narrator travels backwards rather than forwards in time, in order to tell the story of a love affair that had taken place before his own birth. Swann's jealous love for Odette, together with the comic antics of the Verdurins and the adoring members of their 'little clan', provide a prophetic model of the narrator's own love-relationships and peregrinations in salon society. All Proust's great themes - time and memory, love and loss, art and the artistic vocation - are here in kernel form.
