The first volume of one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, in Lydia Davis's award-winning translationMarcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time is one of the most entertaining reading experiences in any language and arguably the finest novel of the twentieth century. But since its original prewar translation there has been no completely new version in English. Now, Penguin Classics brings Proust's masterpiece to new audiences throughout the world, beginning with Lydia Davis's internationally acclaimed translation of the first volume, Swann's Way.Swann's Way is one of the preeminent novels of childhood: a sensitive boy's impressions of his family and neighbors, all brought dazzlingly back to life years later by the taste of a madeleine. It also enfolds the short novel "Swann in Love," an incomparable study of sexual jealousy that becomes a crucial part of the vast, unfolding structure of In Search of Lost Time. The first volume of the work that established Proust as one of the finest voices of the modern age--satirical, skeptical, confiding, and endlessly varied in his response to the human condition--Swann's Way also stands on its own as a perfect rendering of a life in art, of the past recreated through memory.

Cet essai s'intéresse, à travers les œuvres de Cervantès, Flaubert, Tolstoï, Dostoïevski, Proust, Kafka, Gombrowicz, à la façon dont le roman moderne éclaire et explore le présent grâce à la mémoire qu'il a gardée de mondes disparus. Le roman n’est pas seulement, comme on le définit presque toujours, un art du présent et de la nouveauté. Il est aussi un art de la mémoire. En fait, c’est parce qu’il se souvient des mondes anciens et de leurs valeurs qu’il peut prendre acte de ce qui est nouveau. Cet essai s’intéresse à la façon dont le roman, depuis Cervantès, est le témoin des grandes disparitions qui hantent et façonnent la conscience moderne: la disparition du destin d’abord, dont les conséquences n’ont pas fini de s’épuiser, puis celle de l’héroïsme et, à partir du vingtième siècle, la disparition proprement vertigineuse du temps ordonné et de la mémoire elle-même. À partir des œuvres de Flaubert, Tolstoï, Dostoïevski, Proust, Kafka, Gombrowicz, ce livre montre comment le roman moderne, par la mémoire des mondes disparus qui est au coeur de son aventure, éclaire le présent comme aucun autre art n’y parvient.
