In Swann's Way the themes of Proust's masterpiece are introduced, and the narrator's childhood in Paris and Combray is recalled, most memorably in the evocation of the famous maternal good-night kiss. The recollection of the narrator's love for Swann'sdaughter Gilberte leads to an account of Swann's passion for Odette and the rise of the Nouveaux riches Verdurins.For this authoritative English-language edition, D. J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin's acclaimed reworking of C.K. Scott Moncrieff's translation to take into account the new definitive French editions A la recherche du temps perdu published by the Bibliotheque de la Pleiade.
