This book is about a couple who are well off enough to travel around Europe to some of its major cities and build the relationship and love they have for each other. Absolutely stunning portrayal of a French Catholic repressive confronting his (homo) sexuality at the turn of last century. After her miscarriage, Marceline's spirit is crushed and she loses much of her mental vigor. It moved me in places but not half as much as Strait is the Gate (the letter at the end of the book is heart-breaking). Finalement, L'immoraliste, c'est l'histoire d'un type sans morale, comme si rien n'avait de prise sur lui. I just saw the little paperbacks sitting on the bookshop shelf and I immediately assured them that they were getting a new home. It moved me in places but not halI thought this was good overall but certainly not as good as strait is the gate.
Notable for its fusion of autobiographical elements with both biblical and classical clarity and lack of clutter, The Immoralist marks a decided shift in Gide's prose style and a somewhat decadent floweriness to his later classical clarity and lack of clutter. "Do you want the little musician?"
When Michel suffers from tuberculosis, Marceline is very attentive and caring towards him. I've never felt that it is in any way important to like or admire the main character in a novel. Like Montherlant, Gide can be difficult to process especially in this era.I think my problem with this book is that I've heard this all before. 'It consoles them for not being anything else.” ingratitude, sexual deviancy, racial audacity. Like Larbaud, the prose is perfectly clear, a little elegiac, but also as precise as possible.
who knows from translations?? And at times, we seem confounded by our own definitions. In a way this novel is a precursor to Camus' Stranger, though it is much more elegant and subtle than the latter. asks OW, whose own lips seemed "as if soft with milk and ready to suck again," says the symbolist Marcel Schwob.
L'Immoraliste est un récit d'André Gide publié en 1902.
Gide however trumped all of these names by being awarded the Nobel PrizeI picked up three books by André Gide once without even knowing who he was. And this is what makes the fibre so compelling: the very fact that this turbulent vortex of personal cataclysm simmers hidden in the subconscious strata, with the subtlest of surface manifestations: a bit like watching soporific bubbles crenulate the surface of a hot spring: we know its a harbinger of molten ferment which will erupt in volcanic spew, science classes posit that at this exact moment tectonic grinding is churning beneath, but for a few moments, before a supernova of lava excretes from the mouth of the epicentre, we have only these little ruptures to go by. It turns out – quite immoral. Michel and Mélanque become friends at this time, when Ménalque is able to understand Michel's lectures. I deliberately write ‘confronting’ rather than ‘journey of discovery’, ‘development’ or any other word which might imply a process of evolvement leading to clarity or even acceptance, for this is singularly missing. What unravels instead, is a sublime subconscious, torturous confrontation, an unwanted, unspoken clash of instinct and reason. Published As we slump towards the final third, his wife becomes tMy foray into Frenchies continues with this peculiar, off-the-scale subtle novel about forbidden pleasures. When we are growing children, we have so many fantasies of countless things, we have our own interpretations of the phenomena of nature, Imagination of a bearded old man dwelling in sky as God, Rain from sky as tears of angels, angry trees shedding leaves, fairies visiting only good children at night, and so many and many….When we are growing children, we have so many fantasies of countless things, we have our own interpretations of the phenomena of nature, Imagination of a bearded old man dwelling in sky as God, Rain from sky as tears of angels, angry trees shedding leaves, fairies visiting only good children at night, and so many and many….i feel a little dirty reading this sandwiched between all my children's books for class. I liked it. Images of half-naked women with torn garments that barely covered their nipples and genitalia dangled limp in the arms of some salivating brute or monster or cad, surrounded by exploding words like "SIN!" But he is so anxious to live life to the fullest and experience everything that he drags his wife with him even when she is ill. With nods towards Oscar Wilde, Albert Camus and the Paul Bowles novel "The Sheltering Sky", Gide tries to weave out his story in an all too familiar fashion that was both never really interesting and was trying to add too much bulk into what is in essence a skinny novel. It turns out – quite immoral. Published in 1902 where it was received as tedious with moments to shock, Gide glides with an artsy format through the loveless marriage of Michel and Marceline who travel to Tunisia for their honeymoon only for Marcel to come down with serious ill health,From the pen of André Gide "The Immoralist" explores the fundamental problem of the moral conditions of our existence, using man and wife as the subject matter on how the gap between what we once were and how to perceive what lies ahead of us.
