Remembrance of Things Past Volume I: Swann's Way and Within a Budding Grove

by Marcel Proust
Remembrance of Things Past Volume I: Swann's Way and Within a Budding Grove - Thryft
Remembrance of Things Past Volume I: Swann's Way and Within a Budding Grove - Thryft

Sensory journey through memory, desire, and artistry.

If you're seeking not just a story, but an experience that marries deep psychological insight with poetic prose, Proust's masterpiece will reward you richly. The nuances of memory and the complexities of emotion are woven into passages that many describe as heartbreakingly beautiful. Nostalgia, longing, and the very essence of what it means to be human are captured with an elegance that has stood the test of time. This is reading as an art form.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The transmutation of sensation into sentiment, the ebb tide of memory, waves of emotion such as desire, jealousy, and artistic euphoria — this is the material of this enormous and yet singularly light and translucid work. Originally rendered by C.K. Scott Moncrieff from an early and unreliable French edition, Proust’s masterpiece has now been flawlessly translated by Terence Kilmartin in this acclaimed version.
