It is a discussion of the central idea of Absurdity that Camus was to develop in his novel The Outsider. Here Camus poses the fundamental question: Is life worth living? If existence has ceased to retain significance when confronted with the fragmented reality of the human condition, what then can keep us from suicide?

`If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

The Way by Swanns is one of the great novels of childhood, depicting the impressions of a sensitive boy of his family and neighbours, brought dazzlingly back to life by the famous taste of a madeleine. It contains the separate short novel, A Love of Swanns, a study of sexual jealousy that forms a crucial part of the vast, unfolding structure of In Search of Lost Time.
