En Busca Del Tiempo Perdido, Pt. 1: Por El Camino De Swann (Texto Completo) Audiobook

" This isn't like other novels. "

" I can't 100% get down with the super long sentences. "

" Is there a way to add a sixth star? "

" Really for a story told in the first person by a precocious child whose greatest joy is to be tucked into bed and kissed by is mommy... this is about as good as it gets. The narrator goes on to describe myriad things that he could not have possibly been privy to, which is never explained despite the 600+ pages of room to explain such a thing. The writing is so terribly pedantic and rambling, that it is like a simile, a round and happy simile with a moustache and the unforgettable smell of an old barber shop, that has perhaps booked an airline ticket to some favourite place, only to learn that during the flight that it is hijacked by a giant and menacing metaphor and ummm... where was I? Oh yes, reviewing Proust. If you don't like me and you are pretty sure that I don't like you, please read this book... at least twice. "

" Read not once, but twice. The whole damn thing. "

" I think Proust was mentally ill. I got to page 168 when he began discussing the smell of his chamber pot after having eaten asparagus. He cannot be worth a year of my time. "

" Marcel Proust shows that you can paint a picture with a thousand words, and he is supremely talented at it. "

" It is amazing. Which is not to say that I always liked it. "

" Started rereading on a long train journey. Picked up themes and allusions from later on, so good to return to & see threads developed later laid down "

" Second-time. Funnier that first trip. And still sad. "

" This book is damn near impossible to get into. But it is brilliantly written. It's so poetic that it makes me sleepy... "

" Had to try this, but 100 pages proved to me I wasn't going to see what others see in Proust. "

" journeying through Proust's mysterious, meandering memories was a delightful treat. all start from remembering an exquisite taste of a shell shaped little cake, "madelines" and indescribable pleasures from that very first bite. "

" I TRIED to read this. I did not actually succeed in reading. When I noticed that single paragraphs spanned more than two pages and there was a dearth of dialogue, I took it back to NYPL. I don't give up easily on books but doing this right after Atonement was not possible. "

" Proust is a pisser. He gets better as the volumes go on. I'm not done with all of them. I'm currently reading The Captive, which is very interesting from a social and sexual point of view. "

" The pace was hard to keep up with. It's a very slow book where action is not as important as the emotions of characters. Despite that, the book is still enjoyable. I was particularly pleased with the role of the music in the story. Extremely beautiful! "

" Well, probably the best book ever written. "

" Proust will stay with me for the rest of my life. Daydreams and pleasure have an added importance now. And the poetics of life will never escape me. "

" must finish up:the guermantes waythe captive and the fugitivewithin a budding grove "

" Letto tutto. Tre volte. Un capolavoro "

" Un libro dopo l'altro, principale compagnia di mesi all'estero, e quello che resta è la voglia di ricominciare da capo, ancora, e ancora, e ancora. "
