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

by Marcel Proust, Ligaran

Overview

Extrait : "Le pépiement matinal des oiseaux semblait insipide à Françoise. Chaque parole des « bonnes » la faisait sursauter ; incommodée par tous leurs pas, elle s'interrogeait sur eux ; c'est que nous avions déménagé. Certes les domestiques ne remuaient pas moins, dans le « sixième » de notre ancienne demeure ; mais elle les connaissait ; elle avait fait de leurs allées et venues des choses amicales. Maintenant elle portait au silence même une attention douloureuse."

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.
