Synopsis "The Fugitive: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 6 (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) (in English)"

The long-awaited penultimate volume--the very summit of Proust's art (Slate)--in the acclaimed Penguin translation of Marcel Proust's greatest work, in time for the 150th anniversary of his birth The greatest literary work of the twentieth century. --The New York Times A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper Peter Collier's acclaimed translation of The Fugitive introduces a new generation of American readers to the literary riches of Marcel Proust. The sixth and penultimate 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. Miss Albertine has left! So begins The Fugitive, the second part of what is often referred to as the Albertine cycle, or books five and six of In Search of Lost Time. As Marcel struggles to endure Albertine's departure and vanquish his loss, he ends up in an anguished search for the essential truth of the enigmatic fugitive, whose love affairs with other women provoke in him jealousy and a new understanding of sexuality. Eventually, he lets go of Albertine and begins to find himself, discovering his own long-lost inner sources of creativity.

(1871-1922) Novelista, ensayista y crítico francés. Es uno de los escritores cruciales de la literatura moderna. Nació en París en el seno de una familia adinerada y abandonó pronto sus estudios de Derecho para relacionarse con la sociedad elegante de París y dedicarse a escribir. Proust, aquejado de asma desde la infancia y convertido en un enfermo crónico, pasó el resto de su vida recluido, sin salir prácticamente nunca de la habitación revestida de corcho donde escribió su obra maestra: En busca del tiempo perdido, la que está reconocida sin discusión como una de las más importantes de la literatura moderna, influenciando tanto en el campo de la literatura como en el de la filosofía y la teoría del arte. Falleció de neumonía en París un 18 de noviembre de 1922.
