Random House Inc. 09/01/1971. With the coming of the First World War, Marcel's milieu undergoes changes, epitomized by the emergence of Mme. Verdurin as the new princesse de Guermantes. Marcel's friend Robert de Saint-Loup marries Gilberte. Marcel visits Gilberte at Swann's old estate in Combray, but the visit is not a success: Marcel is no longer enchanted by his old village and its surroundings, and, ill and unhappy, he enters a rest home outside Paris. When he returns, a reception at the Guermantes' triggers memories of the past--an echo at the end of Proust's masterwork that echoes the "madeleine" episode of the beginning--and reawakens his desire to write. He also sees that subject: the loss of that desire, and the recapture of it through the involuntary workings of memory. His book, in other words, will be the story of his own life. Marcel looks back on his life and realizes that his true vocation is the transformation of his experience into literature. He is introduced to Gilberte's daughter, who combines the two "ways" of his childhood and reconciles him to the workings of time and to his place in it. He begins work on his great book, always aware that he hasn't long to live. Originally published at $5.95 You save 83% off the cover price!
