Para muchos historiadores y críticos, En busca del tiempo perdido no sólo es una obra cumbre de las letras francesas del siglo xx, sino también una de las más grandes creaciones literarias de todas las epocas, en la que la trasposicion en el relato de la vida de Marcel Proust (1871-1922), asi como de personajes y ambientes sociales de su tiempo, se pone al servicio de un proposito radicalmente innovador del genero novelistico. La prisionera es el quinto volumen de la serie que completan, por este orden, Por el camino de Swann, A la sombra de las muchachas en flor, El mundo de Guermantes, Sodoma y Gomorra, La fugitiva y El tiempo recobrado.

In Search of Lost Time (French: A la recherche du temps perdu) previously also translated as Remembrance of Things Past, is a novel in seven volumes, written by Marcel Proust (18711922). It is considered to be his most prominent work, known both for its length and its theme of involuntary memory, the most famous example being the "episode of the madeleine" which occurs early in the first volume. It gained fame in English in translations by C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin as Remembrance of Things Past, but the title In Search of Lost Time, a literal rendering of the French, has gained usage since D. J. Enright adopted it for his revised translation published in 1992. The novel began to take shape in 1909. Proust continued to work on it until his final illness in the autumn of 1922 forced him to break off. Proust established the structure early on, but even after volumes were initially finished he kept adding new material and edited one volume after another for publication. The last three of the seven volumes contain oversights and fragmentary or unpolished passages, as they existed only in draft form at the death of the author; the publication of these parts was overseen by his brother Robert.Included: - Swanns Way- Within a Budding Grove- The Guermantes Way- Cities of The Plain- The Captive- The Sweet Cheat Gone- Time Regained- Notes

"In Search of Lost Time is widely recognized as the major novel of the twentieth century." Harold Bloom"At once the last great classic of French epic prose tradition and the towering precursor of the nouveau roman." Bengt Holmqvist"Proust so titillates my own desire for expression that I can hardly set out the sentence. Oh if I could write like that!" Virginia Woolf"The greatest fiction to date." W. Somerset Maugham"Proust is the greatest novelist of the 20th century." Graham GreeneOn the surface a traditional "Bildungsroman" describing the narrators journey of self-discovery, this huge and complex book is also a panoramic and richly comic portrait of France in the authors lifetime, and a profound meditation on the nature of art, love, time, memory and death. But for most readers it is the characters of the novel who loom the largest: Swann and Odette, Monsieur de Charlus, Morel, the Duchesse de Guermantes, Françoise, Saint-Loup and so many others Giants, as the author calls them, immersed in Time."In Search of Lost Time" is a novel in seven volumes.
