Influencing writers like Virginia Woolf and James Joyce, and even anticipating Albert Einstein in its philosophical explorations of space and time, \u003cem\u003eIn Search of Lost Time\u003c\/em\u003e is a monumental achievement and reading it is a rite of passage for any serious lover of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, in what renowned translator Arthur Goldhammer says might be \"likened to a piano reduction of an orchestral score,\" the French illustrator Stéphane Heuet re-presents Proust in graphic form for anyone who has always dreamed of reading him but was put off by the sheer magnitude of the undertaking. This \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e best-selling graphic adaptation reveals the fundamental architecture of Proust's work while displaying a remarkable fidelity to his language as well as the novel's themes of time, art, and the elusiveness of memory. As Goldhammer writes in his introduction, \"The reader new to Proust must attend closely, even in this compressed rendering, to the novel's circling rhythms and abrupt cross-cuts between different places and times. But this necessary attentiveness is abetted and facilitated by the compactness of the graphic format.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this first volume, \u003cem\u003eSwann's Way\u003c\/em\u003e, the narrator Marcel, an aspiring writer, recalls his childhood when--in a now-immortal moment in literature--the taste of a madeleine cake dipped in tea unleashes a torrent of memories about his family's country home in the town of Combray. Here, Heuet and Goldhammer use Proust's own famously rich and labyrinthine sentences and discerning observations to render Combray like never before. From the water lilies of the Vivonne to the steeple and stained glass of the town church, Proust's language provides the blueprint for Heuet's illustrations. Heuet and Goldhammer also capture Proust's humor, wit, and sometimes scathing portrayals of Combray's many memorable inhabitants, like the lovelorn Charles Swann and the object of his affection and torment, Odette de Crécy; Swann's daughter, Gilberte; local aristocrat the Duchesse de Guermantes; the narrator's uncle Adolphe; and the hypochondriac Aunt Léonie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluding a Proust family tree, a glossary of terms, and a map of Paris, this graphic adaptation is a surprising and useful companion piece to Proust's masterpiece for both the initiated and those seeking an introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcel Proust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631496479","brand":"Marcel Proust","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45867784274148,"sku":"9781631496479","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9781631496479.jpg?v=1733854316"},{"product_id":"swanns-way-marcel-proust-paperback-1","title":"Swann's Way -- Marcel Proust, Paperback","description":"\u003cb\u003eNow available for the first time in the United States, a celebrated translation of the first volume of Proust's \u003ci\u003eIn Search of Lost Time\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSwann's Way\u003c\/i\u003e, the first of the seven volumes that constitute Marcel Proust's lifework, \u003ci\u003eIn Search of Lost Time\u003c\/i\u003e, introduces the larger themes of the whole sequence while standing on its own as a brilliant evocation of the French Belle Époque. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere we encounter Proust's narrator, restless and unfulfilled in middle age, his life weighing on him as a burden of things forgotten and things undone, until quite by chance he is brought to remember the world of his childhood, his clinging attachment to his mother, his dread of his father, summers in the country and the two walks his family regularly took, one by a great aristocratic estate, the other by the house of a certain Charles Swann, to whom a mystery was attached. A child's world and the world of adults the child can only begin to imagine unfurl before us, and Proust's pages spill over with incident and puzzlement, pathos and humor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe novel then takes a further step into the past to tell of the goings-on at the Parisian salon of the bourgeois Verdurins, where social climbing and artistic accomplishment exist in incongruous and comic conjunction, and of Swann's infatuation with the courtesan Odette. Swann, man about town and familiar of royalty, is soon reduced to walking after midnight, unrecognizable to himself and to his friends, forlorn as a child awaiting a goodnight kiss, no thought in his head but love--and in Proust's universe there is no more terrible affliction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJames Grieve began his career as a translator of Proust in the early 1970s, driven by his dismay at how many readers deemed \u003ci\u003eIn Search of Lost Time\u003c\/i\u003e to be too difficult for them to take on. Grieve's artful and celebrated version of \u003ci\u003eSwann's Way--\u003c\/i\u003eonly now available outside his native Australia--shows that this is hardly the case.

At 38 years old, Proust began gathering material for what would become his monumental epic, \u003ci\u003eIn Search of Lost time\u003c\/i\u003e, which he would work on for the rest of his life. Published in seven volumes between 1913 and 1927, the second volume won the Prix Goncourt, France's most prestigious literary prize. The monumental epic tracks economic and cultural change taking place in France at the end of the Third Republic; its play with the themes of memory and time earned him a reputation as one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Grieve\u003c\/b\u003e (1934-2020) was an Australian translator and author.
