About this listen
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.
The Guermantes Way is the third of seven volumes. The narrator penetrates the inner sanctum of Paris high society and falls in love with the fascinating Duchesse de Guermantes. Proust describes vividly the struggles for political, social, and sexual supremacy played out beneath a veneer of elegant manners. He also finds himself pursued by the predatory Baron de Charlus.

Like a lullaby
Slow and poetic, it feels like a lullaby. It’s hard to focus on the hours and hours of character sketches with no chapter or section divisions. There’s really no plot or moral, it’s just 28 hours of storytelling - highbrows doing both scandalous and mundane things. Upper class France from the turn of the 19th century. But somehow it’s nice to fall asleep to at night.
