The Fugitive

The Fugitive is the penultimate volume in Marcel Proust's monumental series In Search of Lost Time. The novel centers on the narrator's emotional turmoil following the departure and subsequent death of Albertine, the woman he both loved and imprisoned. Through his obsessive reflections on her absence, Proust explores the themes of memory, jealousy, the illusion of possession, and the complexity of human desire. This volume deepens the psychological portrait of the narrator, revealing the contradictions of love and the persistence of longing beyond physical presence. Proust examines how the mind reconstructs and reshapes reality in the face of grief, using memory not only as a tool for remembrance but also as a means of survival. The Fugitive has been celebrated for its introspective intensity and its nuanced exploration of loss and identity. It continues the series' profound meditation on time, art, and the inner life, offering readers a rich and intimate encounter with the fragility of human emotion and the power of recollection.
