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

by Marcel Proust, Ligaran

Overview

Extrait : "Mademoiselle Albertine est partie ! Comme la souffrance va plus loin en psychologie que la psychologie ! Il y a un instant, en train de m'analyser, j'avais cru que cette séparation sans s'être revus était justement ce que je désirais, et comparant la médiocrité des plaisirs que me donnait Albertine à la richesse des désirs qu'elle me privait de réaliser, je m'étais trouvé subtil, j'avais conclu que je ne voulais plus la voir, que je ne l'aimais plus."

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.
