In The Guermantes Way, the third volume of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, the narrator becomes fascinated by the aristocratic world of Paris and the powerful Guermantes family. Living near their home, he is drawn ever closer to their circle, imagining that entry into their world will bring him nearer to the life he admires. Behind the elegant parties, titles and manners, Proust reveals vanity, jealousy, prejudice and ordinary human weakness. Meanwhile the illness and death of the narrator's grandmother force him to face aging, grief and the painful passage of time.
