FYI: The Way of Swann
Marcel Proust was born in 1871
1 in Auteuil, a suburb of Paris, and
is today regarded one of France's
greatest authors. But did you know

in his masterpiece Remembrance

based on real figures) for who
they truly were — vain, shallow,

must have overlooked some of
those 1,000-Word sentences), and
