When the night falls, the unnamed narrator finds it difficult to reign in his galloping thoughts. Night for him means profound loneliness and also the only time when his thoughts and memories come back unbidden, often waking him up in the middle of the night. His thoughts involuntarily go back his past, his country home in Combray and the people who once populated that time... "For a long time I used to go to bed early. Sometimes, when I had put out my candle, my eyes would close so quickly that I had not even time to say "I'm going to sleep." And half an hour later the thought that it was time to go to sleep would awaken me; I would try to put away the book which, I imagined, was still in my hands, and to blow out the light; I had been thinking all the time..." Marcel Proust (1871–1922) was a French novelist, critic, and essayist best known for his monumental novel À la Recherche du Temps Perdu (1913-1927). He is considered by English critics and writers to be one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Charles Kenneth Scott Moncrieff (1889–1930) was a Scottish writer, most famous for his English translation of most of Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu, which he published under the Shakespearean title Remembrance of Things Past.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Marcel Proust's 'Swann's Way,' the first volume of his monumental work 'In Search of Lost Time,' delves into the intricacies of memory and desire through a rich tapestry of sensory experiences and nuanced character studies. Proust's prose is characterized by its lyrical elegance and introspective depth, as he employs a unique narrative style that intertwines stream-of-consciousness with vivid descriptions, creating a profound exploration of time and consciousness. The novel traverses themes of love, art, and the painful complexities of social interaction, set against the backdrop of late 19th-century French society. Proust, a keen observer of human behavior and a lover of art, draws from his own experiences and relationships to craft this poignant narrative. His life--marked by social ambitions, literary aspirations, and personal afflictions--greatly informed his understanding of the emotional landscapes he portrays in his characters. The influence of Symbolist literature can also be seen in his emphasis on subjective experience, making 'Swann's Way' a critical touchstone in modernist literature. This seminal work is a must-read for anyone interested in the exploration of memory, identity, and the nature of love. Proust's intricate narrative invites readers into a reflective journey that resonates deeply with the human experience, making 'Swann's Way' essential for scholars and literary enthusiasts alike.
