A new 2023 translation of Marcel Proust's 1922 "Sodom and Gomorrah" (Sodome et Gomorrhe), Volume V in the series In Search of Lost Time. This edition contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Proust's life and works and a glossary of philosophic concepts in his body of work. The fourth volume of "In Search of Lost Time," "Sodom and Gomorrah," explores the themes of homosexuality and desire within the context of Parisian society. The narrator observes and investigates the secret relationships and hidden desires of various characters, providing a nuanced portrayal of the complexities of human sexuality. Proust's exploration challenges societal norms and offers a profound meditation on desire, repression, and the masks individuals wear to conceal their true selves. Freud was a contemporary of Proust, and most of Elitist Modernist society was already fully in support of the normalization of all sexual activities. As a member of the French bourgeoisie himself, Proust focused nearly exclusively on the freedom of the Aristocracy from what his favorite Philosopher Nietzsche called "herd morality", and likewise adopted Nietzsche's condemnation of moral structures of any kind.
