"If you want a heavily descriptive historical fiction/memoir that will transport you to the late 19th century life of wealth seen from the vantage point of a child and then a neighbor of the child, this is your book. The first of seven storied volumes, this particular book is a comfort read for me. I have read it over and over just for the feelings it gives me. I have never read the other 6 volumes. Now that I have retired and there is this Oxford new translation, I think I will move to volume 2." - Amazon Customer Reviews

'The memory of a particular image is only regret for a particular moment...'

The Swann Way is the first volume of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time (1913-27), one of the most important novels of the twentieth century. The work is a portal to Proust's novel and an introduction to its unforgettable first-person narrator-protagonist. Immersed in themes of time, memory, identity, art, sensation, love, and jealousy, the narrator embarks on the story of his life and the paths he takes towards fulfilling his vocation as a writer. Principally focused on the narrator's childhood, this volume lays the foundation of Proust's extraordinary literary edifice.

The first volume in a major new translation of In Search of Lost Time , co-edited by Brian Nelson and Adam Watt.
