Acerca del autor
Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust, known as Marcel Proust (1871-1922), is esteemed as one of France's most influential novelists of the twentieth century. His magnum opus, 'À la recherche du temps perdu' ('In Search of Lost Time'), is a monumental seven-part novel, with 'The Prisoner' being its fifth volume. Born in Auteuil, the southwestern sector of Paris's then-rustic 16th arrondissement, Proust grew up in a wealthy and cultured atmosphere, which later influenced his writing. Critically acclaimed for his introspective prose, rich detail, and explorative psychological narrative, Proust pioneered the style of involuntary memory—best captured by the famed 'madeleine episode' where the taste of a madeleine cake dipped in tea evokes an intense involuntary memory. 'The Prisoner', specifically, explores themes of obsessive love and the possessive nature of human relationships, while continuing the broader novel's musings on time, memory, and identity. This exploration unfolds through the lens of the narrator's relationship with Albertine, the titular 'prisoner'. Proust's work remains a cornerstone of literary modernism, and its influence pervades contemporary literature. Scholars and readers alike continue to dissect Proust's intricate narrative structures and his exploration of the inner psyche, which shed light on the human condition and the passage of time. His elaborate sentences and nuanced descriptions make his body of work an enduring testament to his literary genius.
