Notă biografică

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was a French novelist whose seven-volume In Search of Lost Time is among the supreme achievements of twentieth-century literature. Born in Auteuil, Paris, he devoted his later years almost entirely to the novel. 'Swann in Love', a self-contained section of Swann's Way, traces a consuming, jealous passion in fashionable Paris.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Swann's love . . . could not have been torn out of him without destroying him almost entirely'Swann in Love is a brilliant, devastating novella that tells of infatuation, love, and jealousy. Set against the backdrop of Paris at the end of the nineteenth century, the story of Charles Swann illuminates the fragilities and foibles of human beings when in the grip of desire. Swann is a highly cultured man-about-town who is plunged into turmoil when he falls for a young woman called Odette de Crécy. The novel traces the progress of Swann's emotions with penetrating exactitude as he encounters Odette at the regular gatherings in the salon of the Verdurins. His wilful self-delusion is both poignant and ridiculous , and his tormented feelings play out in scenes of high comedy amongst Odette's socially pretentious circle.Swann in Love is part of Proust's monumental masterpiece In Search of Lost Time, and it is also a captivating self-contained story. This new translation encapsulates the qualities that have secured Proust's reputation, and serves as a perfect introduction to his writing.

Recenzii

As well as extensive notes at the back of the book, there is also a highly readable introduction by Adam Watt.
[An] excellent introduction (supplemented by copious notes) [by] the Proust specialist Adam Watt.
[...] this new translation which concentrates on [Swann's] infatuation for Odette is a gentle and accessible introduction to Proust's monumental oeuvre, being quite self-contained and not nearly so daunting a read.
