Autorentext

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was a French novelist, critic, and essayist best known for his monumental work, In Search of Lost Time (À la recherche du temps perdu). Born in Paris, Proust's life and writings were deeply influenced by his observations of society, art, and memory. Despite suffering from chronic illness, he meticulously crafted his seven-volume masterpiece, which explores themes of time, identity, and desire with unparalleled depth. Proust's complex portrayal of human emotions and his exploration of homosexuality in his writing have cemented his legacy as one of literature's most profound and innovative voices.

The narrator finally reveals what he witnessed before Princess de. Guermantes' party: Charlus followed Jupien into his shop and the two shared an intimate encounter. Returning to the festivities, the narrator reflects on the very nature of inverts and the secret society of which they must belong. Attempting to put the suffering of his grandmother out of his mind, he tries with some success to pursue the companionship of Albertine; only to grow suspicious of her activities and possible lesbianism.
