Du côté de chez Swann by Marcel Proust
"Du côté de chez Swann" by Marcel Proust is a novel published in 1913. This opening volume of Proust's larger work follows a narrator recounting his childhood in Combray, his attachment to his mother, and the walks his family took in two distinct directions. Through the famous madeleine scene, a taste unexpectedly unlocks vast memories of the past. The story explores themes of memory, desire, and social aspiration, introducing the character of
Swann and the narrator's fascination with the aristocratic Guermantes family. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
