REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST
Part Three: Swann in Love, Vol. 1
Marcel Proust, adapted by Stephane Heuet
The acclaimed adaptation continues. Swann is a frequent guest of the high society soirees at the end of the 19th century. When he first encounters Odette de Crecy, he feels no attraction to this frivolous and superficial young woman but time has it otherwise and soon, she becomes an obsession…
"Just as delightful as its predecessors. I have to admit part of what impresses me is that Heuet is trying this at all. I can think of few novels that suggest themselves for comics adaptation less. Yet he pulls it off, adding texture to Proust's immortal prose."
-Andrew Smith, Scripps-Howard Papers
"Heuet manages to marry Proust's prose with incredibly detailed cartooning. This results in an admirably accessible edition of Proust's social satire."-Syracuse Post-Standard
"Gorgeous Classics Comics-style rendition."
-San Diego Union-Tribune
"Heuet's translation to sequential art retains the work's distinctive period feel and eye for detail. A useful primer." -Publishers Weekly
