Summary/Abstract: The novel -In the Coffy of lost Youth- which we propose to analyse is a hymn to melancholy, sweetness, nostalgia. This is the atmosphere of Paris in the 60's. In the heart of the Left Bank neighborhoods, stroll the freedom-lovng people in the search of an ideal, leading a life which has no meaning for them, looking for rest from the bustle of their hearts. The Cafe Conde , visited by a few annoyed intellectuals , writers and dissatisfied students, represents the meeting place of a sum of individuals who are looking for something without knowing very well what that is.
