<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This translation is a revised edition of the 1981 translation of The captive and The sweet cheat gone by C.K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin, published in the United States by Random House, Inc., and in Great Britain by Chatto & Windus. Revisions by D.J. Enright"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Modern Library's fifth volume of <i>In Search of Lost Time</i> contains both <i>The Captive</i> (1923) and <i>The Fugitive </i>(1925). In <i>The Captive</i>, Proust's narrator describes living in his mother's Paris apartment with his lover, Albertine, and subsequently falling out of love with her. In <i>The Fugitive</i>, 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. <p/> 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 <i>Á la recherché du temps perdu</i> (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Proust was the greatest novelist of the twentieth century, just as Tolstoy was in the nineteenth." --Graham Greene<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Marcel Proust</b> was born in the Parisian suburb of Auteuil on July 10, 1871. He began work on <i>In Search of Lost Time</i> sometime around 1908, and the first volume, <i>Swann's Way, </i>was published in 1913. In 1919 the second volume, <i>Within a Budding Grove, </i>won the Goncourt Prize, bringing Proust great and instantaneous fame. Two subsequent installments--<i>The Guermantes Way</i> (1920-21) and <i>Sodom and Gomorrah</i> (1921)--appeared in his lifetime.
