Overview
En 1913 vio la luz esta primera entrega de uno de los ciclos novelĆsticos mĆ”s admirables de la historia de la literatura: En busca del tiempo perdido, un camino iniciĆ”tico y un anĆ”lisis, de hondo calado filosófico, de la compleja relación del tiempo con la memoria, ese instrumento āformado por recuerdos, ensaciones, incluso saboresāpara reapropiarse del pasado y de ese modo devolver su integridad al presente.
El libro se divide en tres partes, todas ellas variaciones sobre el tema del tiempo que inexorablemente queda atrĆ”s: Ā«CombrayĀ», el pueblo de la infancia del protagonista, que lo rememora antes de dormir; Ā«Un amor de SwannĀ», o el despilfarro del tiempo en un amor, el de Odette y Swann, agostado por los celos; Ā«Nombres de paĆs: el NombreĀ», que gira en torno a los recuerdos de la adolescencia.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The first volume of Proustās seven-part novel āIn Search of Lost Time,ā also known as āA Remembrance of Things Past,ā āSwannās Wayā is the auspicious beginning of Proustās most prominent work. A mature, unnamed man recalls the details of his commonplace, idyllic existence as a sensitive and intuitive boy in Combray. For a time, the story is narrated through his younger mind in beautiful, almost dream-like prose. In a subsequent section of the volume, the narrator tells of the excruciating romance of his country neighbor, Monsieur Swann. The narrator reverts to his childhood, where he begins a similarly hopeless infatuation with Swannās little daughter, Gilberte. Through a fragmented narrative, Proust examines the thematic importance of memory, time, and art that connect and interweave the protagonistās memories. Considered to be one of the twentieth centuryās most significant novels, Proust ultimately portrays the volatility of human life in this sweeping contemplation of reality and time.
