| | 1. |  | The Immoralist (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $9.60
Customer Review:
It is a generally sound practice to not conflate the author with this work, but, after reading this I am reminded of the quote by Martin Buber: "They [the French] are too superficial for a reevaluation of all values." The Immoralist as "a confession of French modernity" tediously outlines how and... more info

Andre Gide's "The Counterfeiters" is a novel about individual development in a society structured by deceit.

| | 3. |  | La Symphonie Pastorale (Folio Ser .: No 18)
from Gallimard Education
Price: $14.36
Customer Review:
This is a beautifully written tale of how a good person can deceive himself (or herself) and do great damage. It is as good an examination of self centeredness and the suffering it causes as any Buddhist text (I'm a 19 year Chan and Tibetan practitioner) and a gorgeous peice of literature besides.

| | 4. |  | L'Immoraliste (Folio)
from Schoenhof Foreign Books
Price: $9.85
Customer Review:
This book is actually quite accessible to the student of French, compared to many of Gide's other works. It is an excellent introduction to Gide, and comprises an essential part of any student of literature's repertoire. It is still very relevant to our times, and while not as avant-garde or... more info

| | 7. |  | Strait is the Gate (La Porte etroite)
from Mondial
Price: $11.77
Customer Review:
I first heard about André Gide, I believe, while reading one of Boyle's short story. It was some off handed reference but I found myself picking up Strait is the Gate and the book the proceeded to live on my shelf for quite some time before I read it. The plot is intriguing but somewhat... more info

| | 10. |  | Corydon
from University of Illinois Press
Customer Review:
A quick, amusing read, but not Gide's best work. The work doesn't have the same subjective character studies I've grown to love, but rather reads like a scientific paper written by a skeptical college student. Nonetheless, it is a landmark work in gay literature and so I gave it 4 stars instead of... more info
