In the two novels - The Captive and The Fugitive - contained in this volume, Proust''s narrator is living in his mother''s apartment in Paris with his lover, Albertine.

Trade Review
Oh if I could write like that! -- Virginia Woolf
One of the cornerstones of the Western literary canon * The Times *
Proust sinks deepest in readers because the book is so exhaustively analytical, so ceaselessly truthful... The experience of reading [the book] becomes, in itself, an unforgettable thing * Independent *
The way he replicates the workings of the mind changed the art of novel-writing forever...his style is extraordinary, enveloping, captivating * Guardian *
There are many who swear the experience has permanently enriched their lives * Daily Mail *
