The Prisoner and the Fugitive - Marcel Proust

The titular “prisoner” is Albertine, the tall, dark orphan with whom Marcel had fallen in love at the end of Sodom and Gomorrah. Alongside 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.
