Description: In this volume, the reminiscences of the narrator of Swann's Way move from childhood to adolescence. Having gradually become indifferent to Swann's daughter, Gilberte, the narrator visits the seaside resort of Balbec with his grandmother and meets a new object of attention - Albertine, "a girl with brilliant, laughing eyes and plump, matt cheeks."
