Suddenly, he is back in the past, seized by memories of childhood: his clinging attachment to his mother, his dread of his father, summers in the country and the two walks his family was in the habit of takingone by an aristocratic estate, the other by the house of a certain Charles Swann, to whom a mystery was attached. A childs world, and the world of adults the child struggles to imagine, spread out before us, while Prousts pages teem with incident and puzzlement, pathos and humor. The novel then takes a further step backwards to tell the story of Swanns infatuation with the courtesan Odette. Swann, man-about-town and familiar of royalty, is reduced to walking after midnight, forlorn as a child awaiting a goodnight kiss. 650 0 $a Villages $z France $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / World Literature / France / 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Classics. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a France $x Social life and customs $y 19th century $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Grieve, James, $d 1934- $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240202021714.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AD7768D2C19D11EEA89D2B6520ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
