Text in French. Autobiography of Illan, the Marquesado de Casa Fuerte. Includes genealogical charts and a chronology. The title is taken from Proust's Le Cote de Guermantes. Illan was, among other things, a cellist. "Asmall bit of Proustian memory, a precious testimony of the end of a world, and an era, the memories reveal a view of the musical milieu of the 20th century. After the gilded reminiscences of Elisabeth de Gramont, these memoirs now belong to the great bibliography whose revelations dissipate a little more each time of the mysteries of the "divine Marcel"..." (from the back cover).
