关于此电子书

In "Swann's Way," the first volume of Marcel Proust's monumental seven-part novel, "In Search of Lost Time," the reader is invited into a labyrinthine exploration of memory, desire, and the intricacies of social life in late 19th-century France. Proust's innovative narrative style, which intricately weaves stream-of-consciousness prose with rich, sensory imagery, deftly captures the fleeting nature of time and experience. Set against the backdrop of the French aristocracy, Proust immerses readers in his protagonist's reflections, particularly through the lens of love and art, illustrating how memories are often tinged with the bittersweet specter of nostalgia. Marcel Proust, a member of the French literary elite, drew deeply from his own experiences as a sensitive observer of society. His upbringing in a bourgeois family, combined with his encounters in Parisian salons, provided fertile ground for the exploration of personal and collective memory in his writing. The longing and complexity surrounding love, as embodied in the character of Charles Swann, echo Proust's own tumultuous relationships and desire for understanding within the framework of societal expectations. "Swann's Way" is not merely a narrative; it is an intricate tapestry of human emotions and perceptions. I recommend this seminal work to anyone intrigued by the depths of human consciousness and the quest for identity through memory. Proust's masterful prose promises a transformative reading experience that resonates with the universal pursuit of understanding our own past.

作者简介

Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust, known as Marcel Proust, was a French novelist, essayist, and critic born on July 10, 1871, in Auteuil, France. Proust is best known for his monumental work 'À la recherche du temps perdu' ('In Search of Lost Time'); a seven-volume series published between 1913 and 1927, of which 'Swann's Way' ('Du côté de chez Swann') is the first volume. Proust's narrative style is characterized by his introspective analysis of memory and involuntary memory, which becomes evident through the famous 'madeleine episode' in 'Swann's Way.' His writing is marked by long, intricate sentences and a meticulous devotion to detail, which have both enchanted and challenged readers and scholars alike. The influence of Proust's work on the literary world is immense; he is cited as a pioneer in the stream-of-consciousness technique and has influenced a myriad of writers across different generations. Proust's deep exploration of themes such as time, memory, love, art, and society has made his work a staple of literary modernism, and he remains a cornerstone in the study of 20th-century literature. His masterwork continues to be celebrated for its profound psychological insight and rich character development. Despite living a life marred by poor health, Proust's legacy as a literary icon endures over a century beyond his passing on November 18, 1922.
