Swann In Love

Swann in Love is a novella and a pivotal part of In Search of Lost Time's first volume.

Wavering between love and jealousy, disdain and affection, Swann finds himself more and more entangled with the beautiful yet unfaithful Odette. Swann in Love is part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features the classic English language translation from French by C. K. Scott Moncrieff, and is introduced by Marion Schmid.
