Episode 4: The Two Ways

There are two 'ways' or paths that head out of Marcel Proust's Combray - Swann's Way and the Guermantes Way. In this episode of Proustian Paths, our gentle walk through the text of Marcel Proust's classic novel In Search of Lost Time finally finds us heading down these famous paths. Join audio tour guide James Holden and discover these great pieces of literary terrain and how they shape so much of the work to come. This episode will provide you with: * a 'map' of the section describing the two ways. * a discussion of the important ideas or 'landmarks' Proust himself marks on the ways. * an opportunity to take in the literary-critical views found on both Swann’s Way and the Guermantes Way. So put on your literary walking boots once more, read along with the show if you want, and join us as we continue our literary journey. The perfect introduction to Marcel Proust's work for new readers and a way for dedicated Proustians to get a new view on the book they love - A la recherche du temps perdu.
