Swann's Way

Swann's Way is the first of seven volumes of Proust's Remembrance of Things Past 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-siecle France.
