De Kant Van Guermantes by Marcel Proust
A young narrator becomes captivated by an exclusive Parisian aristocratic circle and devotes himself to winning admission to their salons and the favor of a woman he idealizes; through close attention to manners, gossip, and social ritual he gradually discovers the vanity and hypocrisy beneath the glitter, while the narrative moves inward into long, luminous meditations on memory, time, art, and the formation of personal identity.
