The long-awaited fifth volume--representing "the very summit of Proust's art" (Slate)--in the acclaimed Penguin translation of "the greatest literary work of the twentieth century" (The New York Times)

Carol Clark's acclaimed translation of The Prisoner introduces a new generation of American readers to the literary riches of Marcel Proust. The fifth volume in Penguin Classics' superb new edition of In Search of Lost Time--the first completely new translation of Proust's masterpiece since the 1920s--brings us a more comic and lucid prose than readers of English have previously been able to enjoy.

The titular "prisoner" is Albertine, the tall, dark orphan with whom Marcel had fallen in love at the end of Sodom and Gomorrah (volume 4). Albertine has moved in with Marcel in his family's apartment in Paris, where the pair have a seemingly limitless supply of money and are chaperoned only by Marcel's judgmental family servant, Fran oise. Marcel, who worries obsessively about Albertine's relationships with other women, grows more and more irrational in his attempts to control her, keeping her prisoner in his apartment and buying her couture gowns, furs, and jewelry in an attempt to protect her from herself and from the outside world and. And yet in addition to being a tragedy of possessive love, The Prisoner is also a comedy of human folly and misunderstanding, linked to the other volumes of the larger novel through its themes of class differences, art, irrationality, social snobbery, and, of course, time and memory.

Soft, Effective & Perfect for Daily Makeup Removal!
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Makeup Remover Wipes
I recently started using Cetaphil Gentle Makeup Removing Face Wipes (Daily Cleansing Facial Towelettes), and they’ve quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. If you want a gentle yet effective way to remove makeup at the end of the day, these are fantastic. 💧 Gentle on Skin: These wipes are super soft and feel very soothing on the skin — perfect for sensitive skin like mine. They don’t tug or irritate, even around the delicate eye area. 💄 Effective Makeup Removal: These wipes remove foundation, mascara, eyeliner, and everyday makeup easily. I’ve used them on full-face makeup, and they still do a thorough job without leaving gunky residue. 🌿 Daily Use Friendly: They feel like a gentle cleanse rather than a harsh scrub. My skin feels clean and refreshed afterward, not tight or stripped. 🧼 Convenient & Easy: The towelettes come in a nice, easy-to-open pack that keeps them moist and ready to use anytime — great for travel, late nights, or quick routines. ✨ Non-Irritating Formula: No harsh fragrances or strong chemicals — just clean, balanced cleansing that feels soothing and safe. Overall, Cetaphil Gentle Makeup Removing Face Wipes are a reliable, comfortable, and convenient choice for everyday makeup removal. Highly recommend for anyone who wants effective cleansing without irritation! 🌸🧖‍♀️✨

Excellent for sensitive skin- no fragrance, gets makeup/ sunscreen off
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Makeup Remover Wipes
These are my new go to makeup remover wipes at the end of the day, I used Clinique tske the day away wipes for years but they changed the formula and it started to bother my skin. I am very happy to say these are way cheaper and they do not irritate my sensitive skin at all. They stay nice and wet and the makeup and sunscreen come off really well. My toner pad has less leftover on it moving to this brand. Love that they are fragrance free and that these technically do not need to be washed off (although I do always follow with a toner on a pad after).

Great for Sensitive Skin, But Could Be a Bit More Moist
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Makeup Remover Wipes
I’ve been using these face wipes for years now, and I really like how truly gentle they are on my skin—which is important since I have sensitive skin. That’s honestly the main reason I continue to repurchase them to remove my daily face makeup. They never irritate my skin, and the fact that they’re scent-free is a big plus when using them on my face. That said, I do wish the wipes had a little more moisture to them. While they don't come dry, I often find myself having to go over the same areas more than once, which could be improved. Also, keep in mind that these wipes alone won’t fully remove all makeup residue, so I always follow up with a proper cleanse and face wash. All in all, a solid and reliable choice—especially for those of us with sensitive skin!

Great wipes
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Makeup Remover Wipes
Perfect travel sized wipes! They are very gentle and are great for removing makeup. They are not sticky and are not fragranced. They leave my face feeling moist and clean. Nothing is as good as a regular face wash but this is still the next best thing.
