This is an acclaimed, fully revised edition of the Scott Moncrieff and Kilmartin translation. In the two novels - "The Captive" and "The Fugitive" - contained in this volume, Proust's narrator is living in his mother's apartment in Paris with his lover, Albertine. However, this is far from an idyllic state of affairs. His obsessive love for her means that their relationship is shadowed by jealousy and headed for tragedy.

"As close to being a definitive English version of the great novel as we are likely to get. This new edition will serve to introduce new generations of readers to what Somerset Maugham rightly described as the greatest novel of our century." -- Allan Massie, @lt;i@gt;Scotsman@lt;/i@gt;@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;"The best reading version yet." -- @lt;i@gt;The Times@lt;/i@gt;  Be the first to write a customer review
