Travelling back through time, the narrator tells the story of events long since past - his childhood happiness and sadness, and memories brought famously back to life by the taste of a madeleine. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE ACCLAIMED FULLY REVISED EDITION OF THE SCOTT MONCRIEFF AND KILMARTIN TRANSLATION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe best translation available- 'A really major, significant achievement, and one that you should put on your Christmas list immediately' \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVINTAGE FRENCH CLASSICS - six masterpieces of French fiction in collectable editions.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45496560418974,"sku":"UBD-9781784878443","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781784878443.jpg?v=1748231484","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781784878443","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
