Description
After the relative intimacy of the first two volumes of In Search of Lost Time, The Guermantes Way opens up a vast, dazzling landscape of fashionable Parisian life in the late nineteenth century, as the narrator enters the brilliant, shallow world of the literary and aristocratic salons.

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...

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,...
