The Modern Libraryâs fifth volume of In Search of Lost Time contains both The Captive (1923) and The Fugitive (1925). In The Captive, Proustâs narrator describes living in his motherâs Paris apartment with his lover, Albertine, and subsequently falling out of love with her. In The Fugitive, 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 Kilmartinâs acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieffâs translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of Ă la recherchĂŠ du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la PlĂŠiade in 1989).
