In vol. 1 and 3 traces of water.
The exquisite and whimsical world of Proustian prose recreates the infinitely fascinating and amazingly diverse movement of man into the depths of his inner universe. From line to line Marcel Proust goes through the echoes of conversations, the whiff of fragrances, the crumbling petals of memories and patiently builds on this basis the majestic building of the main work of his life, known as " in search of lost time." The basis of this airy temple of beauty and changeable harmony was the novel "towards Swann" — the first step into a world where the past and present form a complex pattern, traces of which can since be found in a variety of" architects " of world literature.
