The definitive translation of a truly great French novel - Proust's beautiful, atmospheric story of memory and loss.

This is the first volume of In Search of Lost Time, one of the greatest French novels of the twentieth century.

Travelling back through time, the narrator tells the story of events long since past - his childhood happiness and sadness, and memories brought famously back to life by the taste of a madeleine.

His family's friend and neighbour, the aristocratic Swann, weaves through the tale.

We learn of Swann's passionate love affair with Odette, a jealous love that creates a model for the narrator's own relationships.

All Proust's great themes begin here: time and memory, love and loss, art and the artistic vocation.
