Synopsis
Throughout his work, Gide was fascinated by the conflict between the artistic sensibility and the normal pleasures and satisfactions of life. This profound internal dilemma creates a tension between the artist's calling and the less problematic, "normal" world. Gide explores this theme in several works, but in none so vividly as in THE IMMORALIST, the story of a man whose brush with death forces him to examine his life and to change it in ways that are incomprehensible and repellent to those who know him.

Industry Reviews
"In every being, the worst instinct appeared to me as the most sincere."
Book Text - Andre Gide
"The masterpiece of luminous cruelty."
Charels Du Bos
"[A]n extremely painful study of the irritation and misery caused by a too-definite divergence from the comfortable type."
Contemporary Review - Edmund Gosse (09/19/2009)
"Andre Gide is one of the most important figures in French letters."
Howe
"A serious purpose underlies the work of Gide, and it is from such purposes that great novelists arise."
Howe
