Reseña del libro "The Prisoner: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 5 (en Inglés)"

The long-awaited fifth volume--representing the very summit of Proust's art (Slate)--in the acclaimed Penguin translation of the greatest literary work of the twentieth century (The New York Times) A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper Carol Clark's acclaimed translation of The Prisoner introduces a new generation of American readers to the literary riches of Marcel Proust. 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. 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. For more than seventy-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 2,000 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Marcel Proust (Auteuil, París, 1871 – París, 1922) fue un novelista, crítico y ensayista francés considerado uno de los escritores más influyentes del siglo XX. Es célebre por su monumental obra En busca del tiempo perdido (À la recherche du temps perdu), una serie de siete volúmenes publicados entre 1913 y 1927, que exploran la memoria, el arte y la sociedad francesa de su época. Proust ganó el prestigioso Premio Goncourt en 1919 por el segundo volumen de la saga, A la sombra de las muchachas en flor. Su innovador uso de la memoria involuntaria y la técnica del flujo de conciencia marcó profundamente la literatura moderna. A pesar de una vida marcada por la enfermedad y el aislamiento, su obra es hoy un referente universal y ha sido traducida a numerosos idiomas.
