Immerse yourself in the nuanced tapestry of Marcel Proust's masterpiece with Swann's Way, a 1956 Modern Library edition, complete and unabridged in one volume. This hardcover book, encased in a dust jacket, spans 661 pages of rich narrative and intricate storytelling.

As the first volume in Proust's monumental work, In Search of Lost Time, it masterfully introduces the themes that echo throughout the series. Swann's Way delves into the recollections of Marcel, a younger version of the narrator, and his life in the French town of Combray. It is a profound evocation of childhood, unrequited love, and the ambiance of the French Belle Époque. While the dust jacket shows signs of wear and tear, as captured in the photos, the book itself remains a timeless journey through memory and experience.
