«Du côté de chez Swann» is the novel by Marcel Proust, published by Gallimard in paperback (708 pages, in French).
The narrator recalls his childhood in Combray, the wait for his mother's kiss, and the walks that bring him closer to Charles Swann, a friend of his parents, and to his daughter Gilberte. Involuntary memory —the madeleine in tea— and the chronicle of high French society announce the great themes of the work: love, jealousy, and the passage of time.
First volume of «À la recherche du temps perdu». Edition presented and annotated by Antoine Compagnon in the Folio classique collection.
Aimed at readers of classic French fiction and those approaching Proust's work for the first time.
