Towards Svanna. Proust M.

The first volume of the most famous French novel of the twentieth century was published a hundred years ago - in November 1913. The novel was called “in the direction of Svanna”, and his author Marcel Proust then did not suspect that his brainchild would grow into the cycle “in search of lost time”, on which the writer would work until the last hours of his life. The reader will have to evaluate the brilliant translation of Elena Baevskaya, who refutes the sadly established opinion that Proust is a venerable, intellectual, but boring author.
