His family''s friend and neighbour, the aristocratic Swann, weaves through the tale. We learn of Swann''s passionate love affair with Odette, a jealous love that creates a model for the narrator''s own relationships. All Proust''s great themes begin here: time and memory, love and loss, art and the artistic vocation.THE ACCLAIMED FULLY REVISED EDITION OF THE SCOTT MONCRIEFF AND KILMARTIN TRANSLATIONThe best translation available: ''A really major, significant achievement, and one that you should put on your Christmas list immediately'' GuardianVINTAGE FRENCH CLASSICS - six masterpieces of French fiction in collectable editions.
