Synopsis "In Search of Lost Time: Swann's Way, Vol. 1 (in English)"

In Swann's Way, the themes of Proust's masterpiece are introduced, and the narrator's childhood in Paris and Combray is recalled, most memorably in the evocation of the famous maternal good-night kiss. The recollection of the narrator's love for Swann's daughter Gilberte leads to an account of Swann's passion for Odette and the rise of the nouveaux riches Verdurins. For this authoritative English-language edition, D. J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin's acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieff's translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of Á la recherché du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).
Marcel Proust
  (Author)
View Author's Page
(1871-1922) Novelista, ensayista y crítico francés. Es uno de los escritores cruciales de la literatura moderna. Nació en París en el seno de una familia adinerada y abandonó pronto sus estudios de Derecho para relacionarse con la sociedad elegante de París y dedicarse a escribir. Proust, aquejado de asma desde la infancia y convertido en un enfermo crónico, pasó el resto de su vida recluido, sin salir prácticamente nunca de la habitación revestida de corcho donde escribió su obra maestra: En busca del tiempo perdido, la que está reconocida sin discusión como una de las más importantes de la literatura moderna, influenciando tanto en el campo de la literatura como en el de la filosofía y la teoría del arte. Falleció de neumonía en París un 18 de noviembre de 1922.
