Project Gutenberg 2001-12-01 Public domain in the USA. 245 Proust, Marcel 1871 1922 A l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs — Troisième partie A la recherche du temps perdu, Tome II Produced by Sue Asscher, Walter Debeuf, Patrick Narzul, and Marie Lebert "A l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs — Troisième partie" by Marcel Proust is a novel written during the early 20th century, continuing the exploration of themes surrounding love, social class, and memory that are central to Proust's larger work, "In Search of Lost Time." The narrative delves into the intricacies of relationships, particularly the interactions of young men and women, revealing their psychological complexities and the social dynamics that influence their connections. The opening of this portion introduces a dinner gathering where the main character, accompanied by Saint-Loup, interacts with Bloch and his family. Through light banter and storytelling, the social nature of their relationships unfolds, highlighting the distinctions between perception and reality, particularly in how Bloch's admiration for his father leads to a mockery of his father's pretentiousness. As the night progresses, the young men’s observations also extend to a group of attractive young women, sparking a desire within the narrator that is both exhilarating and painfully unattainable. The text effectively captures a tapestry of youthful longing, humor, and the subtle dance of social interactions, setting the tone for deeper explorations of character and emotion throughout the work.
