Synopsis
Using long direct quotations and some shorter, spoken approximations, French cartoonist Heuet skilfully adapts one of the greatest and most inaccessible French authors into a clear and easily read graphic novel drawn in the simple and loveable style of Tintin. When it first appeared in France in 1998, Heuet's version scandalised the French establishment, causing an uproar that reached all the way to the front page of the New York Times. Yet in it's first printing, REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST sold out within three weeks, marking it as both a literary and an artistic achievement, sure to appeal to avid fans of Proust and of graphic novels alike.

From the Back Cover
The acclaimed adaptation continues. Swann is a frequent guest of the high society soirees at the end of the 19th century. When he first encounters Odette de Crecy, he feels no attraction to this frivolous and superficial young woman but time has it otherwise and soon, she becomes an obsession.
