¿Entonces, qué? ¿Este libro no era más que eso? Esos seres a los que yo había dado más atención y ternura que a las personas reales, sin osar confesar hasta qué punto los amaba (...), esas personas por las que me había sofocado y lagrimeado no volverían a aparecer jamás, no sabría más nada de ellas."
Proust revive en este breve pero notable ensayo de 1905 sus lecturas de infancia. La propuesta del autor, sin embargo, va mucho más allá...

Extrait : "Mademoiselle Albertine est partie ! Comme la souffrance va plus loin en psychologie que la psychologie ! Il y a un instant, en train de m'analyser, j'avais cru que cette séparation sans s'être revus était justement ce que je désirais, et comparant la médiocrité des plaisirs que me donnait Albertine à la richesse des désirs qu'elle me privait de réaliser, je m'étais trouvé subtil, j'avais conclu que je ne voulais plus la voir,...

Newly discovered stories from one of the great storytellers of the twentieth century.

One possible answer is that he was developing his themes in preparation for his masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time; another is that the stories were too audacious - too near to life - for the censorious...

Extrait: "Pendant nos promenades Gilberte me parlait de Robert comme se détournant d'elle, mais pour aller auprès d'autres femmes. Et il est vrai que beaucoup encombraient sa vie, et comme certaines camaraderies masculines pour les hommes qui aiment les femmes, avec ce caractère de défense inutilement faite et de place vainement usurpée qu'ont dans la plupart des maisons les objets qui ne peuvent servir à rien."
