The fifth volume in Penguin Classics' superb new edition of In Search of Lost Time--the first completely new translation of Proust's masterpiece since the 1920s--brings us a more comic and lucid prose than readers of English have previously been able to enjoy. 520 $a The titular "prisoner" is Albertine, the tall, dark orphan with whom Marcel had fallen in love at the end of Sodom and Gomorrah (volume 4). Albertine has moved in with Marcel in his family's apartment in Paris, where the pair have a seemingly limitless supply of money and are chaperoned only by Marcel's judgmental family servant, Françoise. Marcel, who worries obsessively about Albertine's relationships with other women, grows more and more irrational in his attempts to control her, keeping her prisoner in his apartment and buying her couture gowns, furs, and jewelry in an attempt to protect her from herself and from the outside world and. And yet in addition to being a tragedy of possessive love, The Prisoner is also a comedy of human folly and misunderstanding, linked to the other volumes of the larger novel through its themes of class differences, art, irrationality, social snobbery, and, of course, time and memory. 546 $a In English, translated from the French. 650 0 $a Prisoners $v Fiction. 651 0 $a France $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Autobiographical fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Clark, Carol $q (Carol E.), $e translator. 700 1 $a Prendergast, Christopher, $e editor. 800 1 $a Proust, Marcel, $d 1871-1922. $t AÌ la recherche du temps perdu. $l English $s (Yale University Press) ; $v Book 4. 830 0 $a Penguin classics deluxe edition. 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221203071130.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20190314010957.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190227010926.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DD20A7A399711E9BE2DC61297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
