Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit (Band 5)

After his encounter with the Marquis de Norpois and his first visit to the theater, where he admires Berma in Racine's Phèdre, Marcel remembers his first love, Gilbert. She is the daughter of the refined Mr. Swann and his wife Odette, who comes from a semi-worldly background. The complicated love for her is surrounded by numerous secrets and binds him ever more closely to the Swann family. Marcel's youthful expectations, his illusions, and his ambitions are repeatedly met with disappointments and disillusionments. Stéphane Heuet skillfully adapts another part of Marcel Proust's work "In Search of Lost Time" in his "Ligne claire" style, continuing the subseries "In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower.".
