Overview
Marcel Proust is one of France’s greatest classic authors. His expansive novel, In Search of Lost Time, is well-known for its exploration of memory and emotion. Swann in Love is a novella and a pivotal part of In Search of Lost Time’s first volume.
Swann in Love is part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features the classic English language translation from French by C. K. Scott Moncrieff, and is introduced by Marion Schmid.
Published in French in 1913, this novella is a rewarding springboard into Proust’s seven-volume work as a whole, since it focuses on two key characters. Swann in Love tells of Charles Swann’s obsession with a courtesan, Odette de Crécy, who he meets at a Parisian salon. Wavering between love and jealousy, disdain and affection, Swann finds himself more and more entangled with the beautiful yet unfaithful Odette.
