|  | Swann's Way by C. K. Scott-Moncrieff, C. K. Scott Mancrief, C. K. Scott Moncrieff, John Rowe, Marcel Proust
This self-contained opening volume of Proust`s seven-volume masterpiece REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST introduces the important themes of the novel: childhood, memory, love both idealized and unrequited, and the narrator`s fascination with society and the aristocracy. The narrator`s childhood memories include the famous madeleine scene, and the destructive love affair between Swann and Odette. The musician Vinteuil`s evocative little phrase is also introduced in this volume, which also describes Marcel`s awareness of the two ways, the paths that intersect the village of Combray where he lives: the Guermantes Way, leading to the house of an aristocratic family, and Swann`s Way, leading to the less exalted, more literary home of Swann, who is a family friend. AUTHOR: C. K. Scott-Moncrieff, C. K. Scott Mancrief, C. K. Scott Moncrieff, John Rowe, Marcel Proust
