Episode 1: Waking and Sleeping

Join me on the Proustian Paths as we start our gentle walk through the text of Marcel Proust's classic work of French literature, In Search of Lost Time.

In this first episode of this series, your audio tour guide Dr. James Holden will steer you safely through the opening passages of the novel. We'll see how Proust's Narrator 'went to bed early'. We'll follow him as he begins to remember the places of his life - Combray, Balbec Tansonville, Paris and more.

This video will provide you with:

* a 'map' of the opening section of the book.

* a discussion of the passage's literary highlights or 'landmarks'.

* the best literary-critical views.

So dust off your literary walking boots, read along with the show if you want, and join us on this literary journey. The perfect introduction to Proust for new readers and dedicated Proustians alike.
