“Mademoiselle Albertine has gone!” These are the words that open Proust´s masterpiece "In Search of Lost Time"'s sixth book, "The Fugitive" (1925).
"The Fugitive" picks up seamlessly where "The Captive" left off, with Marcel stunned to find that his hostage lover has finally decided to spread her wings and fly away. Reading her goodbye letter, the young man struggles to come to terms with his loss, despite the fact that in recent times he was the one hoping for a bloodless end to their relationship. Left alone with his pain (and his housekeeper…), he struggles to come to terms with Albertine’s decision, wondering how best he can persuade her to return.
"In Search of Lost Time" is composed by seven magnificent volumes:
- Volume One: "Swann's Way"
- Volume Two: "In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower"
