Collected Works of Jean-Paul Sartre (Essential Edition)

Author: André Gide
Publisher:
Publish Date: 2001-09-01
Features: The five novellas and one essay included in this book are all representative works of Gide. On the fiftieth anniversary of his death, our publishing house compiled and published them, not only as a tribute to this great writer but also to facilitate readers in understanding and studying Gide. Gide was one of the transitional figures in the French literary tradition, whose novels broke away from the traditional French narrative techniques led by Balzac but were not as "avant-garde" as modern French novels. His works, while featuring stories, characters, and plots, show a tendency towards ambiguity and vagueness, and are highly arbitrary.
