    <![CDATA[The Modern Library&#8217;s fifth volume of <em>In Search of Lost Time</em> contains both <em>The Captive</em> (1923) and <em>The Fugitive </em>(1925). In <em>The Captive</em>, Proust&#8217;s narrator describes living in his mother&#8217;s Paris apartment with his lover, Albertine, and subsequently falling out of love with her. In <em>The Fugitive</em>, 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.  <br/><br/>For this authoritative English-language edition, D. J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin&#8217;s acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieff&#8217;s translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of <em>Á la recherché du temps perdu</em> (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).]]>
