characters Ä Du côté de chez Swann ´ eBook, ePUB or Kindle PDF Ence de la distinction entre le souvenir et la réminiscence pour ensuite s'exercer à manier les mots comme de petits papiers japonais ui touchés par la grâce de l'eau se déploient en corolle pour faire place à tout un univers Tout comme se déploie un roman fleuve à partir de cette toute petite phrase légendaire « Longtemps je me suis couché de bonne heure » Sana Tang Léopold Waute. Reading a book for the first time is a great exciting experience that packs a myriad of emotions and sensations you re happy because of the joy of starting another journey anxious because of your expectations curious because of the reviews you ve read or things you ve heard about the story it s something similar to going out on a first date where everything is novelty and if the book the person proves to be interesting indeed you want to find out and Once the initial excitement is over and the euphoria settles down once you know the story and you re serious about your and their intentions it s time to find out whether you can see yourself marrying that person less enchanted by what have come so far than by the valuable promises of what s yet to come Do you want to commit and not commitment in the sense of obligations or compromising but as an alignment of expectations convergence of desires and companionship Yes Then you can re read the book you know the story you know the characters you know what it has given you so far but you feel there s to absorb to learn That was my feeling when I decided to re read Swann s Way I wanted to extend my experience with it I needed to go through it all againMeeting the characters for a second first time made it possible for me to observe certain traits in them that perhaps by not being sure of which of those characters would become important in the narrative like when you meet someone and you not always can tell if they re gonna be in your life for than that brief moment so you don t pay them the deserved attention I didn t register in my mind or that I never truly noticed and now after knowing and caring for them re reading their first words and the first time they were described had that same sensation you feel when opening a photo album from long ago and looking at the old pictures where you see how younger your friends were how they were thinner and had a different haircut Du c t de chez Swann was first released in 1913 with publications costs paid by Proust after it had been turned down by leading editors who had been offered the manuscript in longhandUpon the release of this first volume of the Recherche Marcel Proust was commanded for his wonderful effort I should say accomplishment really but his work was uestioned for having no structure at all Another positive aspect that reading Swann s Way for a second time provided me and that brought me great satisfaction was to note how there are no loose ends in Proust s narrative and how it all comes together but only eventually and once you read it completely Sections that apparently I didn t make much sense of in the first time or just imagined were there because of the writer s recognized taste for digressions and lengthy inner monologues now appear clear to me as being essential to the work as being active and important parts of his story and giving me a sense of how well planned even from the conception and greatly executed everything was It s all connected and bound together but I do agree it s merely perceptible at firstThe general themes of the book are all mentioned in the first part Combray pt 1 or Overture in some editions in those glorious opening pages about the confusions one might feel between sleeping dreaming and being awake The section was masterfully inserted in the beginning of the book as Proust s calling card for it works perfectly as a introduction to the marvelous unknown world outside of time that we re about to enter Besides the innumerable meanings it has to the continuation of the story which was only accessible to me on this re read what I most appreciated about those first pages and I can remember the same sensation back when I first read them although the feeling was then wrapped by another even a stronger one that of the complexity it was for me to read to decipher his long sentences and the meanings of his prose was how that confusion of falling asleep is something simple that everyone can relate to that everyone has felt at least a couple of times and yet it was so skillfully written that he was able to isolate to perfectly put into words such an ethereal volatile moment as if he gave a proper form to something that s been known and felt but never seen like he painted the windIn addition to being such a beautiful overture and a perfect writing lesson that passage also stands strongly as a decisive metaphor for everything that s yet to come as the drowsy narrator falls asleep and wakes up getting lost in between and trying to find himself to locate his whereabouts completely adrift in time and space so he will remain that way throughout most of the narrative of his life trying to find himself to know who and what he is resorting to numbing philosophical observations and deep self reflections on various subjects and his relations All the confusion of that seemingly regular moment also serves as a parallel to the work itself what is la recherche du temps perdu an autobiography a romance a novel And does it have to be or become one or any of those Is it Proust speaking directly to me and if not who is this person saying I With all of this uncertainty taking place at the beginning one might feel that the writer gathered all possible puzzles and doubts in the palm of his two hands and threw them in the air as if he was trying to pick them up in whatever order it was in which they landed on the floor what is not clear just yet is that all of these riddles are interconnected like a spider web is and that instead of making a mess he only enlarged the scope so the connecting lines would become discernible and placed it all precisely as he needed things to beDuring one of the nights where the narrator reminisced about his past in bed trying to remember it voluntarily one outstanding scene came to him the goodnight kiss drama that would forever scar his life and alter his identity What Proust does in that renowned episode that speaks wonders about character presentation is to introduce us to the narrator s personality to his nervous ways and delicate susceptible nature In that moment we witness an important discovery he makes about himself he becomes aware that he can t resist or control his nervous impulses that he is oversensitive and the fact that his parents abdicated their authority only came as confirmation to his diagnosis This originated in him the paralyzing fear that he would never have any will or strength to achieve whatever he needed to or planned in his life What seems to be nothing than a simple moment where a spoiled child a brat disobeys and challenges his parents is indeed the beginning of a long lasting disorder that will be pivotal to the comprehension of the path the narrator walks in life up to the last moments of Time RegainedFor obvious reasons this piece was one he could easily remember but the remaining of his past experiences didn t come to him as naturally Enter then the celebrated madeleine episode The sumptuous moment where the taste of a madeleine dipped in tea rekindles inside of him all the details from a lost time as if he was able to relive to grasp them is probably the part for which Proust and the Recherche are most known and recognized because of the involuntary memory incident but it is in my opinion only a detail a pretty one that changes everything in the painting no doubt but still only a drop in the vast ocean he opens before us inviting us to sail away not that the episode isn t once again wonderfully written it receives life while being read it comes alive out of the book just like the flowers the good folk of the village the parish church and the whole of Combray came out of his cup of tea But there is still so much to be explored to be appreciated and that eually deserves recognition this is one in a series of perfect brilliant moments in the first of seven volumes of a work s life It is not the apex the climax although it brings the narrator and to his readers such a sense of happiness but to single out this passage without what s to come is to miss the point of Proust s entire work as the narrator tells us uietly between parenthesis that he did not know yet and must long postpone the discovery of why this memory made him so happy Just like him we must also wait to understand what this passage really meant in his lifeWith all of his remembrances at hand thanks to that singular taste of madeleine dipped in tea the narrator then unveils the enchanting alluring times he spent with his family in the small town of Combray This section Combray pt 2 is so ravishing and carries such a lovely warm feeling perhaps because of the importance that we attribute to those times because we know the impact it had on us so it s completely relatable that even though of course my childhood memories does not correspond to those remembered and told I could still feel the magical aura and dive into the book as if I was his best friend visiting at Easter time listening to aunt L onie s talking with Fran oise and trying to reassure her of her ultimate recovery reading with him in the garden and ultimately glimpsing his ambitions of becoming a writer My favorite part of my vacation was however walking with him both on the M s glise and the Guermantes ways these two paths these two sides so separated from each other that they even reuire different doors to be accessed and beginning to understand the implications they would later have in the narrator s fateThe next chapter Un Amour de Swann is an extensive and intensive comprehensive analysis of love and all of the feelings that come with it or derive from it or because of it Proust analyses every aspect of this happy glowing feeling that can turn into a malady dissecting everything putting every action under many different lights and observing them from different perspectives from the very beginning the reasons love appeared to how it grew to how it went sour and faded away It could easily and rightly be called Une tude de l amour insteadThis narrative takes place years before the narrator was even born and it shows us the poignant relationship between Charles Swann and Odette de Cr cy a relationship that will be paralleled by the narrator in years to come mostly everything on Swann s Way is set for important future developments I appreciate how realistic the approach for this love story was like it s happened time and again in many relationships it begins with both parties involved going besides themselves to please each other doing things they normally wouldn t in order to enchant the other not realizing that they wouldn t be able to act that way forever to keep those promises and live up to that established pattern to what has come to be the expected It seems a common behavior to paint oneself in better colors to be nicer to be arranged in better lights while in the seduction phase and then once the work appears to be done once the goal has been achieved the lights are dimmed the cosmetics are off and enters the actor the true person behind the character while perhaps this actor without the personage wouldn t be as charming and therefore not enough for the enchanting act after love has happened it seems he s sufficient to keep it going The effort one made in order to seduce switches sides and becomes the effort the other has to make in order to break up which seems to be eually as challenging if not After Odette landed Swann and he fell for her she turns cold and distant leaving him jealous and wary His suspicions become so uncontrollable and consumes every little detail like an animal who s been hungry for days and once being fed eats as much as it can less as a compensation for its starvation than to store food for not knowing when it would be able to eat again Swann s ultimate desire is to possess Odette Possession not only physical but also psychological of the mind of the spirit and soul the obsessed lover wants to be inside of Odette s body to know every single person she knew talked to or simply met from past and present times He needs to know her every thought as if it was possible to detach her scalp and pick up her brain like a woolen ball that once disentangled would become a long thread of readable sentences containing all of her opinions and ideas Swann seems so caught up in Odette s spell that freeing himself looks and as something impossibleAfter shifting back years to the future still in the past though don t lose yourself comes chapter 3 the last one Place Names The Name In this section like in the previous ones the narrator takes us on a journey through time beginning with his infatuation for Gilberte Swann s daughter and their play dates on Champs lys es passing through another moment that displays his poor health and ending while visiting again the Bois de Bologne many years after he went there daily to cross paths with her mother only this time he is disappointed and melancholic about the passing of time not as much as another jump in time will make him feel though but I m getting too ahead in the narrative as that only happens in the last volume and the transformations he sees in the Bois and in the women s dresses their hats and even in the cars What s interesting about this closing chapter is that it gives us concomitantly a taste of the past as the book title suggests the narrator seems to be really walking on Swann s way or wearing his shoes for a clearer metaphor as we can see glimpses of the obsessive sick love Swann felt for Odette appearing on the young boy s nervous nature on his reflections about this feeling that are already borderline crazy and also of the future of what s to become of him and his visions of love of how he ll evolve and deal with it all throughout his lifeAlthough it may seem we have nothing in common with a seemingly spoiled nervous child who lived and grew up in Paris than a century ago who breathed art and was constantly surrounded by paintings and classical music and that s the point where my life and his diverges the most as I was not brought up with a strong art background and didn t have a Swann to walk on his way still his maxims and reflections are so universal and relatable and one of the things that makes this possible is the fact that this almost anonymous narrator of whom we have no physical descriptions and that expresses his thoughts by saying I to the point of when you read them out loud they become your own opinions acting almost as a mirror to ourselves are so relevant and adaptable to our simple ordinary every day situations that reading him is like reading myself Proust s writing produces recognition I thought this would be a much slower read I planned to let the book dictate its own pace and take as much time as needed to get through this second read for I had a feeling this was how it would go However the fluidity of the text don t laugh at me that does come once you get used to his style and the familiarity with the themes characters and places ended up speeding things up even though this time around I made a point of re reading than once entirely my favorite passages and highlighting all of my favorite uotes For having already read these 3000 pages of the Recherche once and precisely because of this intimidating length the only promise I made was to re read Swann s Way although I did feel the lingering desire to re read everything But I imagined that I would be better euipped in making that decision after reading the first volume And now I know I can t stop I ll proceed with a full re readThere s a film adaptation of Un Amour de Swann from 1984 directed by Volker Schl ndorff and starring Jeremy Irons and Alain Delon Despite its name it does borrow scenes characters and episodes from the other volumes not confiding itself strictly to chapter 2 of this book so be advised of spoilers As it freuently happens when books are adapted into films especially ones we know so well it wasn t uite what I expected and had in mind perhaps I m too influenced by the narrator in finding out things don t live up to my expectations and the real never uite compare to the imagined M Swann I had in mind suffered struggled than he did in the film I missed the raw sentiment I felt while reading the narrative and of course many of his analysis and favorite uotes weren t includedRating I m beyond ecstatic that even though Proust was immoderate with his money he still had some funds to pay for the publication of this volume that was at first overlooked by publishers but that later became the first part the seed of many wonderful things yet to grow and delight readers all around the world in the subseuent

characters Ä Du côté de chez Swann ´ eBook, ePUB or Kindle PDF L'expression roman fleuve devrait sans connotation péjorative désigner une œuvre ui prend le temps de charrier mille petites particules d'impression pour les infuser dans l'esprit d'un lecteur captivé En somme elle devrait avoir été créée pour désigner La Recherche proustienne ui s'ouvre Du côté de chez Swann et s'achève une fois Le Temps retrouvéDans le premier tome de ce superbe. 685 Du C t de Chez Swann Swann s Way La Recherche du Temps Perdu In Search of Lost Time 1 Marcel ProustWriting about this series of novels should be a separate book in itself You do not know where to start as if you want to depict the pyramids of Egypt stone by stone and you really do not know how to deal with the storm of words the word magnificent is too small for this series of novels Far superior to the Gothic cathedrals the Wagner Beethoven operas and the works of all ExpressionistsBut what we learn than anything from this series of novels is that the book is full of a concern a concern called fear of death and fear of dying and not saying all the words that make your mind Chew and eat it This may or may not be understandable to many people That your brain is full of words that knock on this door and that wall to get out but they can not they despise life and devote themselves to an incredible fantasy with which nothing can eual it It so happens that the best description of one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of literature is limited to the term disease and I agree however that many literary masterpieces are full of revealing the condition of sick people From Dostoevsky and Kafka to Celine Hedayat Mishima Faulkner Wolf and Joyce humans do not create anything to be immortal and they are always different Which become immortal In Search of Lost Time is one such difference 1992 1369 9643054810 1389 20 2 06061399
