Synopsis "Swann's Way: Remembrance Of Things Past, Volume One"

In Search of Lost Time or Remembrance of Things Past (French: A la recherche du temps perdu) is a semi-autobiographical novel in seven volumes by Marcel Proust. His most prominent work, it is popularly known for its extended length and the notion of involuntary memory, the most famous example being the "episode of the madeleine." Still widely referred to in English as Remembrance of Things Past, the title In Search of Lost Time, a more accurate rendering of the French, has gained in usage since D.J. Enright's 1992 revision of the earlier translation by C.K. Scott-Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin. Swann's Way is the first volume."

Marcel Proust (Auteuil, Paris, 1871 – Paris, 1922) was a French novelist, critic, and essayist considered one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. He is famous for his monumental work In Search of Lost Time (À la recherche du temps perdu), a series of seven volumes published between 1913 and 1927, which explore memory, art, and French society of his time. Proust won the prestigious Goncourt Prize in 1919 for the second volume of the saga, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower. His innovative use of involuntary memory and the stream of consciousness technique deeply marked modern literature. Despite a life marked by illness and isolation, his work is today a universal reference and has been translated into numerous languages.
