In this work, Proust continues his vast satirical fresco of high society in France just prior to the outbreak of World War I. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These 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 \u003ci\u003eThe Captive\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Fugitive\u003c\/i\u003e 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\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcel Proust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300186215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300186215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Marcel Proust","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46618216497407,"sku":"9780300186215","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f49996f-dd4c-46cf-8d47-4fc9a7b1a379.jpg?v=1740069481","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-captive-and-the-fugitive-marcel-proust-9780300186215","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
