Remembrance of Things Past: Within a Budding Grove, Part 2 by Marcel Proust (CD-Audio, 2015)

In the second volume of Proust s great vel, the narrator emerges as an actor in the drama of his own life, and as an avid explorer of new worlds social, sexual and artistic. This is Part 2. Swann has w dwindled into a husband for his former mistress Odette, and their daughter Gilberte becomes the adolescent narrator s playmate and tantalizing love-object. We move from Paris to the seaside town of Balbec, from ritualized social performances to midsummer spontaneity, and from Gilberte to her successor Albertine. In Balbec, the narrator is befriended by the painter Elstir who introduces him both to the craft of painting and to the mysterious little band of girls. An artistic education is thus intricately interwoven with a journey of sexual self-discovery. This vel is part of Brilliance Audio's extensive Classic Collection, bringing you timeless masterpieces that you and your family are sure to love.
