Status Updates From Veien til Swann (På sporet ...

“He was obliged to acknowledge that now… he was no longer the same man, was no longer alone even— that a new person was there beside him, adhering to him, amalgamated w/him, a person whom he might have to treat w/circumspection, like a master or an illness. And yet, from the moment he had begun to feel that another, a fresh personality was thus conjoined w/his own, life had seemed somehow more interesting.”

🫠Ma quanto scrive beneeeee (bravissimo Raboni🙂‍↔️)

The “it was the rain” passage actually might have broken my brain a little.

voltando ao ponto de vista do marcelzinho (little divo)

50 stron przesłuchanych w godzinę (na x2 prawie) 😭😭

I still have 90 pages of Swann being in love and I'm dreading them. This shit is boring. Bring back the madeleines.

Oh…

C'est long mais franchement ça vaut le coup. Il savait ce qu'il faisait Proust.

como esse swann é chato, misericórdia, que homem insuportável

lol dit gaat lang duren

This is go to be a looooong read

no doubt it's slow-going but i'm finally into it in a good way. some wonderfully beautiful passages and love the bit about the maid's chocolate custard being so near to a work of art that not eating the whole thing would be offensive

Às vezes o Proust é um chato, mas às vezes ele diz daquele tipo de verdades tão subtilmente óbvias que me faz acreditar que sou um lerdo de primeira por nunca antes tê-las topado

Swann is actually obsessive

Le prime 50 pagine TOP. Spero che anche le altre 3500 siano uguali ☠️

i almost forgot that the whole reason for this is the goddamned madeleine! finally cracking into the prose and getting into its rhythms

Swann is the original simp and Odette is just over life i guess

man. i really wish this mfer didn't have these goddamn deckled edges.

Over thinker final boss

So far I've realised a few things: there's the narrator (whose name idk or have forgotten) whose childhood was mostly at a place called Combray. And then we make the switch to M Swann who is now in love with a woman called Odette. I believe Swann's life is a foreshadowing of the narrator's life but I'm not sure. I hope there is a big plottwist though. Also this ia def a "how to talk and write without cursing" 101

So much depth for a book that sounds like a highly intelligent journal entry. Im loving it.

Quoi le passage des madeleines arrive si tôt dans le livre?? 😭
Absolute banger jusqu’à date

Asparagus

If I happened to find in one of his books something which had already occurred to my own mind, my heart would swell as though some deity had, in his infinite bounty, restored it to me, had pronounced it to be beautiful and right.

actively hating this book. but loving the writing. is that what it feels like to hate tomatoes but love ketchup

Thought daughter? Try thought son; every thought i’ve ever had, Proust has probably thought of it before me

Bonjour :D
Je suis très contente d'avoir commencé ce livre ^_^
Merci beaucoup pour votre attention.
Cheers =)

Moi les Verdurin j'ai très envie de les appeler Vertugadin
