Description

Swann in Love Swann's Way , the first part of Marcel Proust's monumental cycle Remembrance of Things Past. It tells the story of man-about-town Charles Swann's passionate, tormented love affair with the courtesan Odette de Crécy, and of its surprising outcome. Set in the degenerate demi-monde of 19th century Paris as well as in the fashionable drawingrooms of the aristocracy, this new audiobook vividly brings to life the descriptive genius of the original novel.

Music: David, Fauré, Debussy

Reviews

AudioFile Magazine...
“Reading Proust's great work may be daunting, but listening--at least to the first part of the seven-section novel-- is a riveting experience, an insightful, often funny, poetical exploration of character, place, emotion and idea. Jason is a master at characterizing the multitude of voices and guides us seamlessly through time. After such a short, yet exquisite, sampling of this classic, we are tantalized and long to continue with the narrator IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME.”
