In 1922, Virginia Woolf marvelled, 'Oh if I could write like that!' The remarkable details from his memory are the fundamental triumph of the audiobook details like his younger self's desperate need for a goodnight kiss from his mother.

Proust paints an unforgettable, scathing and at times comic portrait of French society at the close of the 19th century and reveals a profound vision of obsessive love. The jealous love that Swann feels for the courtesan Odette, is a foretelling of the narrator's own future relationships. He again travels back, this time to the youth of Charles Swann in the French town of Combray, to tell the story of the love affair that took place before his own birth. In the opening volume, the narrator travels back in time to recall his childhood and to introduce the listener to Charles Swann, a wealthy friend of the family and celebrity in the Parisian social scene. Swann's Way is Marcel Proust's literary masterpiece and the first part of the multivolume audiobook Remembrance of Things Past.
