Remembrance of Things Past: Swann’s Way in the Chatto & Windus two-volume edition presents the opening movement of Marcel Proust’s monumental modernist novel, translated by C.K. Scott Moncrieff. This literary fiction work chronicles the narrator’s recollections of childhood, social rituals, and emotional awakenings in late 19th-century France, illustrating the intricate relationship between memory, time, and identity. Proust argues that involuntary memory—epitomized by the famous madeleine episode—unlocks deeper truths than conscious reflection, and he instructs readers through a stream-of-consciousness style that reshapes narrative form. The volumes detail the social intricacies of the Guermantes and Swann households, presenting a world of aristocratic nuance and psychological depth.
