关于此电子书

In "Swann's Way," the first volume of Marcel Proust's monumental work "In Search of Lost Time," the narrative unfolds through a vivid exploration of memory, love, and the complexities of time. Proust's literary style is notable for its intricate, flowing sentences and deep psychological insight, employing a stream-of-consciousness technique that immerses readers in the protagonist's introspective journey. Set against the backdrop of late 19th and early 20th-century France, the novel intricately weaves together themes of desire, social status, and the ephemeral nature of art and beauty, exemplified through the character Charles Swann's obsession with Odette de Crecy. Marcel Proust, a French novelist and essayist, was influenced by his own experiences of love, loss, and the passage of time, as well as the social dynamics of Parisian society. His aristocratic background, combined with his acute sensitivity and detail-oriented perception, allowed him to capture the nuances of human emotion and perception. Proust's own struggles with illness and the search for meaning in everyday existence further shaped his literary vision, transforming personal reflections into universal themes that resonate deeply. "Swann's Way" is a seminal work that beckons readers to engage deeply with its rich prose and profound themes. It is highly recommended for anyone seeking a transformative literary experience that not only captivates the intellect but also touches the heart, inviting thoughtful contemplation on the nature of memory and the intricacies of love.

作者简介

Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust, known as Marcel Proust, was an eminent French novelist, critic, and essayist, best recognized for his monumental work 'À la recherche du temps perdu' ('In Search of Lost Time'; earlier translated as 'Remembrance of Things Past'). Proust's writing is lauded for its profound psychological insight and meticulous attention to detail. Born on July 10, 1871, in Auteuil, France, Proust's aristocratic upbringing and struggles with asthma shaped his introspective nature. His magnum opus, written between 1908 and 1922, is split into seven parts, with 'Swann's Way' ('Du côté de chez Swann'), being the first volume, published in 1913. In 'Swann's Way', Proust develops his distinctive narrative technique, the 'stream of consciousness,' immersing readers in the subjective experiences of his characters, most notably the narrator's memories of childhood and the social circles of Parisian high society. The novel is famed not only for its length and complexity but also for its thematic exploration of involuntary memory, time, and art. Although Proust's works received mixed reviews during his lifetime, his reputation as a writer has grown considerably since his death on November 18, 1922, establishing him as one of the most influential authors of the 20th century.
