by Marcel Proust

Overview

Alors qu'il surveille la cour, le narrateur surprend le baron de Charlus discutant avec Jupien et lui faisant des signes qui l'intriguent. Il finit par entendre leurs ébats ainsi qu'une partie de leur discussion. Cette révélation de l'homosexualité de Charlus lui fait enfin comprendre ses agissements passés et l'auteur se lance dans une réflexion sur les homosexuels, comparant en particulier leur sort à celui des juifs. Dans la soirée, le narrateur se rend dans une soirée chez la princesse de Guermantes. Il y croise Swann ainsi que le médecin qui avait examiné sa grand-mère peu de temps avant sa mort. Souhaitant se faire présenter au prince de Guermantes, le narrateur demande de l'aide à différentes personnes qui l'éconduisent.

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.
