Yet the defining—and extraordinary—characteristic of Proust’s style is that he uses words to keep us IN THE MOMENT. One reviewer referred to his Swann’s Way experience as meditative, yet another expression of being entirely present. Events and details generally considered mundane are observed and depicted anew as the minutiae of each are wondrously beheld. Proust’s language burrows deep; rather than simply asking us to experience frustration, remorse, happiness, he asks us to sense the very life beneath those simplified emotions, the very reality of existence.Proust’s style of grounding us in the present speaks greatly to the idea of self-love—as do all forms of meditation. Yet he counter-intuitively writes the story of unrequited love and unfulfilled longing, a yearning for someone or some experience we cannot have that is more akin to self-loathing. We see this in both Swann and young Marcel’s repeated attempts to recreate prior moments of joy as well as in their hopes for future pleasures, looking backward to the past or beyond to the future rather than appreciating the wonders available to them NOW. This inevitably causes degrees of suffering.We see that Marcel begins to exhibit this tendency at a young age (before eventually falling prey to a relationship that somewhat mirrors Swann’s), while having tea, craving the exquisiteness of that already-gone first sip:"I return in my thoughts to the moment when I took the first spoonful of tea...and I feel something quiver in me, shift, try to rise, something that seems to have been unanchored at a great depth; I do not know what it is, but it comes up slowly; I feel the resistance and I hear the murmur of the distances traversed...Undoubtedly what is palpitating thus, deep inside me, must be the image, the visual memory which is attached to this taste and is trying to follow it to me. But it is struggling too far away, too confusedly...Will it reach the clear surface of my consciousness—this memory, this old moment... I don’t know. Now I no longer feel anything, it has stopped, gone back down perhaps..."Swann wishes for long-ended love so perversely that he grows ever more weary and sick. Indeed, this perversity carries on so relentlessly that one begins to understand that Proust is actually providing a commentary on how NOT to love, a gentle lesson for us readers, bestowed affectionately. So as we turn the page, fully swathed in each sweetly painful moment, that sip of tea or bewitching feminine wile, we slightly cringe as we see ourselves reflected in those experiences, wince at the injustice we have done to ourselves.Art is prevalent throughout, in painting, in music, in the landscape of the countryside, in the fashionable attire of the day, in each and every meditative word. It is our saving grace, our link to the universe, to pure love. Representing our true, inner selves, art is then constantly juxtaposed with our desperate yet fruitless external search for self-worth. The answer, this art seems to say, is just at the tip of your consciousness, here for the taking."Of course, although human from this point of view, it [the musical art of a sonata] belonged to an order of supernatural creatures whom we have never seen, but whom despite this we recognize with delight when some explorer of the invisible manages to capture one, to bring it, from that divine world to which he has access to shine for a few moments above ours."It’s difficult to say more just yet; this is only a small part of a much larger work. Curious to see how Proust continues, I now begin Within a Budding Grove.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.Like Drinking Heavy Cream!By Claire Wright StanardThis book is consider the greatest novel ever written. Hesitated to tackle it because there are long sentences and extensive imagery about small aspects of life. However, Proust captures in words what goes on in character's minds to the point of their self delusion, narcissism, rationalizing obsessions, unrequited love, and desiring what they cannot have, almost like an addiction. His use of the language is magnificent. The novel captures the society changes of the time in France from the Aristocrats to the Middle Class nouveau riche. For the language and literature lover this is a challenging must-read. A 25 page at a time book, but an enriching experience once it is completed.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.Not for everyoneBy Richard C. WasherI have long heard about Proust's epic masterpiece and decided with the encouragement of a reader's group I joined to give Swann's Way a try. I am still working my way through it but Davis' translation is easy to read and I am thoroughly enjoying the experience. The writing is beautiful and I am in awe of the task she must have had in trying to capture the original, but I don't know any French, so it just seems downright daunting to me. It's remarkable how Proust floats a sentence in midair, beyond what seems the limits of possibility, only to settle gracefully to a stopping point with all the pleasure of a musical cadence. However, this is not a plot driven, page-turning thriller and is likely to frustrate if you come to the book on those terms. Proust has much to say about life and all of our experiences in this life, but those are rewards that only come from slow, savoring reading. If this is your kind of writing, I would recommend Davis' translation. I am enjoying it, but I do get frustrated tracking long, long sentences and page upon page without paragraph breaks. I also suspect that I am getting a small percentage of what the book has to offer and that a second read of it will yield up much more. I'll finish it before deciding whether or not to reread.See all 67 customer reviews... Deli Brands of America Discover Deli with a Difference!
