The Captive
The first book of A la Recherche du temps perdu to be published after Proust’s death, La Prisonnière deals with the narrator’s relationship with Albertine, who has just moved in with him in Paris. Marcel’s “I only want you when you’re not around” infatuation for Albertine is exemplified in the scene where he masturbates while watching her sleep.
