A la recherche du temps perdu: Tome VII - Le Temps retrouvé

by Marcel Proust, Ligaran

Overview

Extrait : "Pendant nos promenades Gilberte me parlait de Robert comme se détournant d'elle, mais pour aller auprès d'autres femmes. Et il est vrai que beaucoup encombraient sa vie, et comme certaines camaraderies masculines pour les hommes qui aiment les femmes, avec ce caractère de défense inutilement faite et de place vainement usurpée qu'ont dans la plupart des maisons les objets qui ne peuvent servir à rien."

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.
