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.

Scott Moncrieff, and is introduced by Marion Schmid.
Charles Swann is a man-about-town with friends in high places. At Parisian society gatherings hosted by the wealthy Verdurin couple, he meets the intriguing Odette de Crécy. Though struck by how different they are, Swann’s feelings for Odette deepen. As the Verdurin circle expands, he is overcome by doubts and unhealthy jealousies. Odette distances herself, and Swann is convinced he has a rival for her affections. Behaving erratically and tortured by spiralling thoughts, Swann’s love becomes a sickly poison.
This edition is translated by C. K. Scott Moncrieff with an introduction by Marion Schmid.

About the author
Marcel Proust, French writer, literary critic, and essayist, is best known for his major work, "In Search of Lost Time," published in seven volumes between 1913 and 1927. Born in Paris in 1871, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. His prose explores involuntary memory, illustrated by the famous "episode of the madeleine," and his narratives capture the experiences of French high society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Although he initially financed the publication of his first volume, Proust left an indelible mark on world literature with his refined and introspective style. He died in 1922
