"'Swann's Way' is not a book to read on the train, skipping over the pages with one eye on the landscape; it is a book of true originality and profundity to the point of strangeness, claiming the reader's attention and even seizing it forcibly....A novel of analysis, yes; but I know of few novels in which the analysis penetrates so deep. At times you want to cry out, 'Enough!' as to a surgeon who spares no detail in describing an operation. Yet you never say it. You keep on turning the pages feverishly in order to see further into the souls of these characters."
Elie-Joseph Bois, Le Temps, 11/13/1913
Review:"It is a picture of a society that is overcultured and neurotic, highly-strung and anemic, but interesting, human, amusing, civilized."
Burton Rascoe, New York Herald Tribune (1924-1966), 11/26/1922

Book Description: BARNES NOBLE, United States, 2005. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 203 x 136 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. "Swann's Way," by Marcel Proust, is part of the "Barnes Noble Classics" "series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of "Barnes Noble Classics" All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. "Barnes Noble Classics "pulls together a constellation of influences--biographical, historical, and literary--to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works." "Swann's Way" is the first novel of Marcel Proust's seven-volume magnum opus "A la recherchee du temps perdu," or "Remembrance of Things Past." Following Charles Swann's opening ruminations about the nature of sleep is one of twentieth-century literature's most famous and influential scenes: the eating of the madeleine soaked in a "decoction of lime-flowers," the associative act from which the remainder of the narrative unfurls. After elaborate reminiscences about Swann's childhood in Paris and rural Combray, Proust describes his protagonist's exploits in nineteenth-century privileged Parisian society and his obsessive love for young socialite Odette de Crecy. Filled with searing, insightful, and humorous criticisms of French society, this novel showcases Proust's innovative prose style, characterized by lengthy, intricate sentences that elongate, stop, and reverse time. With narration that alternates between first and third person, "Swann's Way" unconventionally introduces Proust's recurring themes of memory, love, art, and the human experience--and for nearly a century readers have deliciously savored each moment. Elizabeth Dalton is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Barnard College. She has published fiction and criticism in the "New Yorker," "Partisan Review," "Commentary," and the "New York Times Book Review.".
