U traganju za izgubljenim vremenom 9: Zatočenica 1
Marcel Proust
The prisoner is a depiction of life in Albertina. The love is one-sided, but the protagonist does not have the strength to end the relationship. Bergotte and Swann die, and after an argument with Albertine, he notices one morning that she has disappeared.
After many years, the protagonist returns to Paris and meets faces from his youth. He becomes aware of the past and decides that the book he is going to write will be "a big cemetery" and "all his past life". Thus ends Found Time.
