'Jealousy ... is a demon that can't be exorcized, always reincarnated in new forms' The fifth volume of Proust's In Search of Lost Time focuses principally on the protagonist's relationship with Albertine during their cohabitation in Paris. However, The Captive is no conventional love story. Proximity and intimacy breed anxiety and suffering on account of the protagonist's jealousy. His wildly active mind weighs and appraises Albertine's every word. Is she lying to conceal infidelities or past indiscretions, or plotting her departure to indulge in lesbian affairs? The book carries echoes of Swann's affair with Odette narrated in the novel's first volume and offers an anatomy of love as 'mutual torture'. The societal evolution of Belle Époque Paris remains the backcloth to the volume's dramas, as the Verdurins' social rise continues and the Baron de Charlus is unceremoniously brought low in their salon. The Captive is an intense work, unsettling in how it draws us into the protagonist's thoughts and, on occasion, implicates us in his cruelty. Yet it also, insistently, provides glimpses of the promise of art, the possibility it offers to lift us into a dimension beyond the stress and suffering of the here and now.

'the metamorphosis of Monsieur de Charlus into a new person was so complete that... everything which had appeared incoherent to me until then, was becoming intelligible, and self-evident' The fourth volume of Proust's In Search of Lost Time extends the protagonist's journey of discovery into the social world of fin-de-siècle France. As the biblically inflected title, Sodom and Gomorrah, suggests, however, this world has taken on a new colouring. Through a succession of observations--both voyeuristic and overt--Proust's protagonist encounters and begins to appreciate the great diversity of sexual identities and proclivities that underpin human relations. At the heart of this volume that buzzes with chatter, gossip, and position-taking, is the Baron de Charlus, whose relationship with the working-class Charlie Morel is a central preoccupation of the narrative. This volume lays bare the ways in which ambitions and desires are nurtured, projected, masked, and exposed. Suffering, in love, is rarely far away. Sodom and Gomorrah explores frictions between the social classes via the Verdurins' upward climb and the ways in which the impulses of desire can cut across society's arbitrary boundaries. The narrator recounts his retrospective devastation at the death of his grandmother, and while his connection to Albertine deepens, it is his uncertainty about the true nature of her sexual identity that binds him closer to her, leading to a fraught denouement that paves the way for the next, fateful phase of their relationship.

Marcel Proust is one of France’s greatest classic authors. His expansive novel, In Search of Lost Time, is well-known for its exploration of memory and emotion. Swann in Love is a novella and a pivotal part of In Search of Lost Time’s first volume.Published in French in 1913, this novella is a rewarding springboard into Proust’s seven-volume work as a whole, since it focuses on two key characters. Swann in Love tells of Charles Swann’s obsession with a courtesan, Odette de Crécy, who he meets at a Parisian salon. Wavering between love and jealousy, disdain and affection, Swann finds himself more and more entangled with the beautiful yet unfaithful Odette.Swann in Love is part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library, a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features the classic English-language translation from French by C. K. Scott Moncrieff, and is introduced by Marion Schmid.

I kärlekens namn har generationer av franska författare försökt fånga det ogripbara – känslan som förvandlar, förblindar och förtär. I asken L’Amour samlas fyra berättelser från fyra epoker i den franska litteraturen, där kärleken visar sig i sina mest mångskiftande former – som begär och besatthet, frihet och fångenskap, trohet och förlust. Från Maupassants precisa realism och Prousts blick för kärlekens illusioner, till de Beauvoirs intellektuella skärpa och Sagans lekfulla självironi – här möter vi fyra författare som, var och en på sitt sätt, blottlägger hjärtats mysterium. Fyra noveller om längtan, sanning och den envisa passion som får oss att älska, gång på gång.
