À la recherche du temps perdu: Tome VI - Albertine disparue

by Marcel Proust

Overview

Pour une présentation de A la recherche du temps perdu dans son ensemble cf. tome 1: Du côté de chez Swann Le narrateur multiplie les démarches pour tenter de faire revenir Albertine qui l'a quitté (cf. La Prisonnière). Mais elle meurt accidentellement. Le narrateur souffre de penser qu'il va l'oublier comme il a oublié d'autres femmes. Sa rencontre de Gilberte Swann, dont il a été amoureux et qu'il reconnait à peine, confirme cette idée. Ses soupçons le taraudent encore et il enquête sur le comportement d'Albertine. Il se rend à Venise, ville dont il avait rêvé dans son enfance. Il prend plaisir à s'y promener, et y apprend le mariage de Gilberte avec son ami Saint-Loup.

About the Author

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was born in Auteuil, France. In his twenties, following a year in the army, he became a conspicuous society figure, frequenting the most fashionable Paris salons of the day. After 1899, however, his chronic asthma, the death of his parents, and his growing disillusionment with humanity caused him to lead an increasingly retired life. From 1907 on, he rarely emerged from a cork-lined room in his apartment on boulevard Haussmann. There he insulated himself against the distractions of city life and the effects of trees and flowers—though he loved them, they brought on his attacks of asthma. He slept by day and worked by night, writing letters and devoting himself to the completion of In Search of Lost Time.
