 Swanns Way marks the beginning of Marcel Prousts monumental autobiographical novel, In Search of Lost Time. From the very first page, readers are immersed in the intricate layers of memory, evoked through all the senses. Originally titled Du côté de chez Swann, this 1913 work faced rejections from numerous publishers, including Fasquelle and the Nouvelle Revue Francaise (NRF). The renowned writer André Gide was tasked with reviewing the manuscript but, upon discovering minor syntactic flaws amidst the vast tapestry of memories and reflections, ultimately decided against its publication. Undeterred, Proust arranged to self-fund its release with Grasset. Upon publication, it was heralded as the first part of a planned three-volume series. Du côté de chez Swann is structured into four segments Combray I, Combray II, Un Amour de Swann, and Noms de pays le nom (names of places the name). The novella Un Amour de Swann, which encapsulates the poignant love story of Charles Swann and Odette de Crécy, is often published independently and serves as an accessible introduction to Prousts work, frequently included in French school curricula. The first part, Combray I, famously concludes with the madeleine cake episode, introducing the theme of involuntary memory. In early 1914, Gide, who had played a role in the books initial rejection, reached out to Proust to express his remorse and congratulations, stating, “The rejection of this book will remain the most serious mistake ever made by the NRF.” - Summary by Wikipedia (edited by Expatriate)
