Stunning new edition of the standalone novella from Proust's great masterpiece - an intoxicatingly witty story of infatuation and jealousy This landmark new translation commemorates a century since the monumental masterpiece was first published in English -- and since Proust died Swann in Love is a sublimely witty and poignant story of the illusions of love and desire. Full of the rich social satire and penetrating insight that distinguish Proust's style, it is the perfect introduction to one of the world's great novelists. When Charles Swann first lays eyes on Odette de Cr?cy, her beauty leaves him indifferent. Their paths continue to cross in the drawing rooms and theatres of Parisian high society, and the seeds of desire in Swann begin to flourish. What follows is a journey through self-delusion, jealousy and delirious fantasy, which will take Swann far from the sedate comfort of his society life.
