From images generously made available by gallica (Bibliothèque nationale de France) "Sodome et Gomorrhe - Première partie" by Marcel Proust is a novel written in the early 20th century. As part of the larger work "À la recherche du temps perdu," this volume explores themes of love, desire, and societal norms through the intricacies of social interactions among the French aristocracy. The narrative particularly focuses on characters such as M. de Charlus and Jupien, delving into the complexities of their relationships and personal identities. At the start of "Sodome et Gomorrhe," the narrator describes a scene set in the courtyards and rooms of the Parisian elite, highlighting his observations of M. de Charlus, a prominent figure in the social scene. The opening captures the protagonist's voyeuristic tendencies as he witnesses a significant interaction between de Charlus and Jupien, the former revealing layers of his character that intertwine with themes of homosexuality and societal expectations. As the narrator grapples with his understanding of these relationships, he reflects on the deep-seated notions of masculinity and desire that shape their lives, setting the stage for a nuanced exploration of identity and societal structures that will unfold throughout the novel.
