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.Binding Type: Paperback

Info not to be found elsewhere ...
Format: Paperback
I am a cardiologist in my 50s. I have long been interested in hemodynamics and have an extensive home file system and library of Cardiovascular related books and journal articles. I thought I understood hemodynamics and tracings very well. However this book is a treasure trove of info that simply cannot be found in other publications. It has been a very worthwhile purchase. Highly recommended. This is best suited for cardiology fellows and beyond in my opinion. This info is simply not to be found elsewhere. It is as if a grey haired attending is pointing out minutiae to you that you had not realized was buried in the tracings. Well written and easy to digest. It is best to have a good understanding of hemodynamics and waveforms before reading this though. The correlation with ECHO and diastolic issues is also very good. (This book should be required reading for all cardiology fellows - invasive or noninvasive)

Excellent
Format: Paperback
As a second-year cardiology fellow, I used to get very confused with hemodynamics during my cath and CCU rotations. This book is a gem, it is clear and logically written, has great explanations of waves and great illustrations. The constrictive pericarditis, valvular disease, and FFR chapters are impressive with echocardiographic and physiologic correlations. I actually liked everything I read, like the nice differentiation between the pressure tracings of various chambers. Some of it requires multiple reads but it is worth it. I realized that I had missed a great deal of the basic understanding of pressure tracing configuration, wedge pressure, shunts.
There are also over 50 cases in a test-answer format probably covering and reviewing most hemodynamic topics. It is like 2 books in 1.

Bought this book. Good content. However my copy is in black and white. There are references to colored arrows. I later learned that others have a colored copy.
