Swann's Way (Electronic book text)


Swann's Way is a novel by Marcel Proust. This book was rejected by a number of publishers, including Fasquelle, Ollendorf, and the Nouvelle Revue Francaise (NRF). Andre Gide was famously given the manuscript to read to advise NRF on publication, and leafing through the seemingly endless collection of memories and philosophizing or melancholic episodes, came across a few minor syntactic errors, which made him decide to turn the work down in his audit. Proust eventually arranged with the publisher Grasset to pay the cost of publication himself. When published it was advertised as the first of a three-volume novel (Bouillaguet and Rogers, 316-7)
