"E d'improvviso il ricordo mi è apparso. Quel sapore era quello del pezzetto di madeleine che zia Léonie, la domenica mattina a Combray (perché quel giorno non uscivo mai prima dell'ora della messa) mi offriva dopo averlo inzuppato nel suo infuso di tè o di tiglio, quando andavo a darle il buongiorno in camera sua." "Dalla parte di Swann" è il primo volume di "Alla ricerca del tempo perduto" ("la Recherche"), l'opera più importante di Marcel Proust, scritta tra il 1909 e il 1922, pubblicata in sette volumi tra il 1913 e il 1927 (viene considerata il romanzo più lungo di sempre).

Frémeaux & Associés propose une anthologie d'"À la recherche du temps perdu". La quintessence du chef-d'œuvre de Marcel Proust est ici choisie avec soin et finesse par Paul Desalmand puis transmise, avec une justesse et une maîtrise de la langue remarquables, par Daniel Mesguich qui met tout son talent au service de la beauté et du sens du texte.

La monumental obra de Marcel Proust (1871-1922), En Busca del Tiempo Perdido es un inmenso retrato de toda una sociedad y es considerada como una de las grandes obras maestras de toda la literature. Como su nobre lo indica, Proust trató de recobrar en su novella en siete volúmenes lo que había sido el ayer y sus personajes están basados en el círculo del autor. La obra en total es un reflejo de uno de los más brillantes análisis de la conciencia que se hayan escrito.

Throughout Proust's life, nine of his short stories remained unseen - the writer never spoke of them. Why did he choose not to publish them along with the others? One possible answer is that he was developing his themes in preparation for his masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time; another is that the stories were too audacious - too near to life - for the censorious society of the time. In these stories, published here for the first time, we find an intimate picture of a young author full of darkness and melancholy, longing to reveal his true self to the world.

When the narrator of Swann's Way dips a petite madeleine into hot tea, the act transports him to his childhood in the French town of Combray. Out of his Pandora's box of reflections comes a memory of an old family friend, Swann - a man who was long ago undone by romantic desire and cruel reality. In this reverie lie the insights the author seeks about his own life and ageless truths about the ephemeral nature of emotions, places, and, ultimately, love.

Swann's Way is Volume 1 of Proust's seminal novel In Search of Lost Time, widely regarded as one of the 20th century's masterpieces. As with James Joyce's Ulysses, Proust employs stream of consciousness writing to vivid effect, making Swann's Way one of the forerunners of modern literature...

Swann's Way is the first part of Marcel Proust's monumental seven volume Remembrance of Things Past. Here, Proust's vision, psychological understanding and vivid powers of description combine to create one of the most poetic and magical works in all literature.

Eine Chronik der Belle Époque, ein Rückblick auf eine verlorene Zeit: Proust fesselt mit Beschreibungen der feinen Salons und schicken Restaurants, der Freuden der mondänen Strände der Normandie wie der Champs-Élysées.

Der Geschmack einer Madeleine, das Licht einer Laterna Magica, der Duft der Weißdornhecke: Schlüsselerlebnisse, die im Kopf des Erzählers Marcel unwillkürlich Erinnerungen hervorrufen. Kunstfertig und detailgetreu entsteht das Panorama des alten Combray und der Stadt Paris mit ihren Salons und Bällen. Kurz: einer Zeit, die verloren und doch gegenwärtig scheint.

Premio Goncourt nel 1919, il secondo volume della Recherche è forse il più amato da critica e lettori. Libro marino, composto di luce, in cui la penna di Proust si fa pennello, e acquerelli appena abbozzati si susseguono a grandi tele impressioniste. Il libro più amato, dicevamo, anche perché qui le spume di una luminosa costa normanna invadono le pagine di giovinezza.

Il quarto volume è, per ammissione dello stesso autore, il libro "più ricco in fatti piscologici e romanzeschi". Ed è qui che il Narratore scopre il mondo di Sodoma e Gomorra, che come una lente, un nuovo colore, arricchisce di sfumature il vasto affresco mondano della soirée dai Guermantes; fa emergere la figura del barone di Charlus, che già nelle prime pagine, in una memorabile scena botanica, viene presentato come il “provvidenziale calabrone” pronto a posarsi sull'orchidea, il farsettaio Jupien.

"All'ombra delle fanciulle in fiore" è il secondo volume di "Alla ricerca del tempo perduto" (la 'Recherche'), l'opera più importante di Marcel Proust, scritta tra il 1909 e il 1922, pubblicata in sette volumi tra il 1913 e il 1927. Questo volume contiene due parti: 'Intorno a M.me Swann' e 'Nomi di paesi: il paese'. Nella prima parte l'autore racconta delle conoscenze da lui fatte tra Combray e Parigi, di cui le più importanti sono quella con il marchese Norpois, lo scrittore Bergotte, suo 'idolo' letterario, e la sua attrice preferita, la Berma.

Sir Ralph Richardson reads the story of Charles Swann's love affair with Odette de Crécy from volume one of Proust's semi-autobiographical masterpiece, "In Search of Lost Time".

One of the most significant literary events of the century, the discovery of manuscript pages containing early drafts of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time put an end to a decades-long search for the Proustian grail. The Paris publisher Bernard de Fallois claimed to have viewed the folios, but doubts about their existence emerged when none appeared in the Proust manuscripts bequeathed to the Bibliotheque Nationale in 1962. The texts had in fact been hidden among Fallois's private papers, found upon his death in 2018.

Marcel, pathologically possessive, continues to keep Albertine a virtual captive in his Paris apartment, while the Baron de Charlus, obsessed with the young violinist Charles Morel, receives an unexpected shock. A deeply perceptive study of love and jealousy.

In The Fugitive the sixth volume of Marcel Proust's monumental, seven volume Remembrance of Things Past, Albertine has finally made her escape from Marcel's Paris apartment, where his obsessive jealousy had turned her into a virtual prisoner. Not only is Marcel quite unprepared for the effect on him of her flight, but also soon he is devastated by news of an even more irreversible loss.

The Guermantes Way, Part 2, the third volume of Marcel Proust's monumental, seven volume Remembrance of Things Past, continues the story of Marcel's entry into the highest circles of French aristocracy. Having renewed his acquaintance with the enchanting Albertine, who now submits to his amorous advances, Marcel finds himself pursued by the predatory Baron de Charlus.

In The Guermantes Way, Part 1, the third volume of Marcel Proust's monumental, seven volume Remembrance of Things Past, Marcel penetrates the inner sanctum of Paris high society and falls in love with the fascinating Duchesse de Guermantes. With his unmatched powers of observation Proust vividly describes the struggles for political, social, and sexual supremacy played out beneath a veneer of elegant manners.
