Episode 6: Swann in Love

Charles Swann is in love. In this episode, our path through Marcel Proust's classic novel In Search of Lost Time follows the paths that the character Charles Swann himself takes as he circles from his home to the Verdurin salon, and from there to Odette's house at the beginning of their grand love affair. Join audio tour guide Dr. James Holden on the next leg of our gentle walk through this important work of French literature, Marcel Proust's classic novel A la recherche du temps perdu. This episode will provide you with: * a clear 'map' of the sequence so that you can understand the structure of these social scenes. * a discussion of the important physical, social and conceptual 'landmarks' Proust himself places in the passage. * an opportunity to take in the literary-critical view. Proustian Paths is the perfect introduction to Marcel Proust's work for new readers and a way for dedicated Proustians to get a new view on the book they love.
