Guermantes' Verden 1 by Marcel Proust
The narrator becomes increasingly absorbed in the world of an aristocratic family, gaining entrance to their salons and pursuing both social recognition and a budding infatuation with a duchess; through vivid scenes of conversation, gossip and society ritual he confronts the vanities and hypocrisies of high life, while the experience provokes sustained reflections on memory, time, perception, love and the artist’s urge to render lived truth.
