The Modern Library’s fifth volume of
In Search of Lost Time
contains both
The Captive
(1923) and
The Fugitive
(1925). In
, Proust’s narrator describes living in his mother’s Paris apartment with his lover, Albertine, and subsequently falling out of love with her. In
, the narrator loses Albertine forever. Rich with irony, The Captive and The Fugitive inspire meditations on desire, sexual love, music, and the art of introspection.
For this authoritative English-language edition, D. J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin’s acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieff’s translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of
Á la recherché du temps perdu
(the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).
