The Way By Swann`s

The Way by Swann?s is one of the great novels of childhood, depicting the impressions of a sensitive boy of his family and neighbour s, brought dazzlingly back to life by the famous taste of a madeleine. It contains the separate short novel, A Love of Swann?s, a st udy of sexual jealousy that forms a crucial part of the vast, unfolding structure of In Search of Lost Time. This book established P roust as one of the greatest voices of the modern age ? satirical, sceptical, confiding and endlessly varied in his response to the human condition.
