The Captive Lib/E Marcel Proust

Remembrance of Things Past is one of the monuments of twentieth-century literature. Neville Jason's unabridged recording of the work runs to 150 hours. The Captive is the fifth of seven volumes.

The protagonist's obsessive love for Albertine makes her virtually a captive in his Paris apartment. He suspects she may be attracted to her own sex.

This version is based on the translation by C. K. Scott Moncrieff.
