The Captive and The Fugitive, the fifth and sixth volumes of Proust's masterpiece, contain some of the most beautiful meditations on art, music, desire, jealousy, love, and loss, as well as grief and forgetting. In this work, Proust continues his vast satirical fresco of high society in France just prior to the outbreak of World War I.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese volumes and the following volume were published posthumously, as Proust died when he was approximately one-third of the way through correcting the proofs for The Captive. The Fugitive was also the last volume translated by Charles Kenneth Scott Moncrieff, who did not live to finish his enormous task. This edition of the two, published together as the fifth volume, is edited and annotated by noted Proust scholar William C. Carter, who endeavors to bring the classic C. K. Scott Moncrieff translation closer to the spirit and style of the original.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Captive and The Fugitive are two of the most celebrated works of French literature, and this authoritative new edition is a testament to Proust's enduring legacy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the art of writing and the complexities of human emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1428g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 242 x 201 x 53 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780300186215\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marcel Proust","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44106259497210,"sku":"9780300186215","price":63.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1677847811240_book.jpg?v=1677919134","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-captive-and-the-fugitive-in-search-of-lost-time-volume-5-9780300186215","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
