Swann In Love - Marcel Proust

Swann in Love is a compelling story of love, obsession and jealousy. Excerpted from Marcel Proust's famous work In Search of Lost Time, this is the perfect entry point to a cornerstone of French literature. Charles Swann is a man about town with friends in high places. At a Parisian society gathering, he meets the intriguing Odette de Cr�cy, and his feelings for her rapidly deepen. As their circle expands, he is overcome by doubts and unhealthy jealousies. Odette distances herself, and Swann is convinced he has a rival for her affections. Behaving erratically and tortured by spiralling thoughts, Swann's love becomes a sickly poison. This edition of Swann in Love is translated by C. K. Scott Moncrieff with an introduction by academic Marion Schmid.
