The Modern Library's fifth volume ofIn Search of Lost Timecontains bothThe Captive(1923) andThe Fugitive(1925). InThe Captive, Proust's narrator describes living in his mother's Paris apartment with his lover, Albertine, and subsequently falling out of love with her. InThe 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 Kilmartin's acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieff's translation to take into account the new definitive French editions ofA la recherche du temps perdu(the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliotheque de la Pleiade in 1989).
