Synopsis

Swann in Love is the continuation of Swann’s Way, the first part of Marcel Proust’s monumental cycle Remembrance of Things Past. It tells the story of man-about-town Charles Swann’s passionate, tormented love affair with the courtesan Odette de Crecy, and of its surprising outcome. Set in the degenerate demi-monde of nineteenth-century Paris as well as in the fashionable drawingrooms of the aristocracy, this new audiobook vividly brings to life the descriptive genius of the original novel.

Crna kao i svaka iluzija koja izgubi sjajnu masku snoviđenja. Strašna zbog dodatnog prtljaga, sitnih sasto......more

Rating: 4.5 It's something that we all feel, but this gentle soul managed to write it down and left it to the world, something between the writer and the reader, falling in and falling out of love and all the sayings and doings in between.......more

Su ana kadar böyle büyüleyici cümleler okumadim desem yeridir. Swannlarin Tarafindaki hikayenin Marcel'in agzindan anlatilmadan yazilmis versiyonu diyebiliriz.

5/5🌟! Pišite ako imate drukčije utiske, ali čitanje Prusta je zaista kao posmatranje filigranski savršeno odrađenih detalja na nekoj skulpturi koja nas, nečim tajanstvenim i neprozirnim, izaziva i pobuđuje u nama obnovu ne samo estetskog, već i čula vremena. Zapravo, i jedno i drugo, u čudesnoj subli......more
