Swann's Way Cassette

Swann's Way is the first volume of Marcel Proust's supreme masterpiece, the seven-part novel entitled Remembrance of Things Past. In it, Proust recalls the early youth of Charles Swann in the small town of Combray as seen through the eyes of the narrator. It then shifts to Swann himself, now a fashionable man caught up in turn-of-the-century Paris and a tortured love affair. A scathing, often comic dissection of French society, it is also a portrait of the artist and a discovery of the aesthetic by which the portrait is painted. The complete novel is considered THE major work of French fiction in the early 20th century. This translation by C.K. Scott Moncrieff is considered an authoritative masterpiece in its own right. Author Edna O'Brien has stated, "every writer should read some Proust every day." And now, you can HEAR Proust, read by distinguished British actor, John Rowe.
