The Sweet Cheat Gone

"The Sweet Cheat Gone," also known as "Albertine Gone" (original French title: "La Fugitive"), is a novel by Marcel Proust, published as a part of his monumental work "In Search of Lost Time" (À la recherche du temps perdu). In this section of the novel, the narrator, Marcel, reflects on his relationship with Albertine Simonet, a young woman he loves deeply but who eventually leaves him. The novel explores themes of love, jealousy, memory, and the passage of time. Marcel's intricate and introspective narrative delves into the complexities of human emotions and the elusive nature of the past. As he grapples with his memories of Albertine and the dissolution of their relationship, Marcel's introspection becomes a profound exploration of the human experience, memory, and the ways in which our perceptions of the past can shape our present and future. "The Sweet Cheat Gone" is a beautifully written and introspective work that adds to the richness and depth of Proust's magnum opus.
