Remembrance of Things Past is one of the monuments of 20th-century literature. Neville Jason’s widely praised abridged version has rightly become an audiobook landmark, and now, upon numerous requests, he is recording the whole work unabridged which, when complete, will run for some 140 hours.

Swann’s Way is the first of seven volumes and sets the scene with the narrator’s memories being famously provoked by the taste of that little cake, the madeleine, accompanied by a cup of lime-flowered tea. It is an unmatched portrait of fin-de-siècle France.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

While one probably should read (or in this case) listen to Proust's 'A la récherche du temps perdu' in French, this recording is really the next best thing. The reading by Neville Jason is absolutely impeccable with a right reading pace, and gives the typical long meandering sentences of Proust a highly poetic touch. One of the most beautiful passages in this book is without a doubt the famous novel-within-a-novel 'A love of Swann' where Jason finds the perfect tone to convey the melancholy and also the tongue-in-cheek humour (which in this English translation reminds me even a little bit of Charles Dickens). The abridged recording version of this work was already rightfully lauded and If one takes in account that Jason recorded the complete cycle of 7 novels one can only but admire this towering achievement. The accompanying booklet gives also an interesting insight in the background of this literary masterpiece. In one word: Bravo!

An absolute 'Tour de force'
