À la recherche du temps perdu: Tome III - Le Côté de Guermantes

by Marcel Proust

Overview

Ce tome 3 de A la recherche du temps perdu (cf. Du côté de chez Swann) montre le narrateur aux prises avec des sentiments amoureux complexes pour plusieurs femmes à la fois, et conte ses premiers pas dans la vie mondaine. La famille du narrateur habite maintenant, à Paris, un appartement de l'hôtel des Guermantes. Ebloui par la belle et élégante duchesse de Guermantes, il rêve d'entrer dans le cercle de cette famille aristocratique. Il sera fort déçu lorsqu'il y parviendra. C'est l'occasion pour Proust de donner une peinture plaisante et féroce des milieux mondains du Paris d'avant la guerre de 14-18.

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.
