Described as "France's greatest contemporary man of letters," Gide was known for his fiction and autobiographical works. He published over fifty books, including 'Les Nourritures terrestres' (1897) ('Fruits of the Earth'), ‘Les Caves du Vatican’ (1914) ('Lafcadio’s Adventures'), ‘La Porte étroite’ (1909) ('Strait is the Gate'), 'La Symphonie pastorale' (1919), and the experimental ‘Les Faux Monnayeurs’ (1926) ('The Counterfeiters').

In it, he used evidence from naturalists, historians, poets, and philosophers to back up his belief that homosexuality was not ‘unnatural’, arguing it was more natural than exclusive heterosexuality, which he believed to be a union created by society.

Hvor meget kan man få rettroende katolikker til at gøre ved at spille på deres religiøse følelser og deres hengivenhed over for paven? Det sætter en række svindlere sig for at afprøve ved at sprede falske rygter om, at paven i Vatikanet er en bedrager, og at den rigtige pave bliver holdt fanget et sted i Vatikanets kældre. I løbet af André Gides satiriske roman stifter vi bekendtskab med en lang række tvivlsomme eksistenser og godtroende katolikker, der hellere end gerne overdrager deres penge til den sande paves befrielse. Romanen udstiller nådesløst og bidende satirisk absurditeterne ved den katolske kirke i starten af det 20. århundrede.Franskmanden André Gide (1869-1951) var en af sin tids vigtigste forfattere. I 1947 modtog han Nobelprisen i litteratur. I 1891 udkom hans første roman "André Walters dagbøger", som gav ham adgang til de parisiske symbolistkredse omkring Mallarmé. Han opnåede litterær berømmelse primært som romanforfatter og dagbogsforfatter.

This debut work lays bare the early brilliance and philosophical conflicts of André Gide, a towering figure in French literature. André Gide, one of the masters of French literature, captures the essence of the philosophical Romantic in this profoundly personal first novel, completed when he was just twenty years old. Drawing heavily on his religious upbringing and private journals, The Notebooks of André Walter—with its “white” and “black” halves—tells the story of a young man pining for his forbidden love, cousin Emmanuelle. But his evocative memories and devoted yearnings, carefully crafted through quotations and diary excerpts, lead only to madness and death. Annotated with footnotes from translator and scholar Wade Baskin, this story within a story offers a unique portrait of the artist as a young man, as it reveals the key themes of self-analysis and moral conscience that Gide explores in his mature works.

Could the Pope have been secretly abducted? André Gide’s famous satire centres around a group of ingenious fraudsters, who convince their wealthy victims that the pontiff has been imprisoned by freemasons. Ranging from madcap farce to scenes of romance and even murder, it is a send-up of conventional morality, most clearly in the picaresque character of Lafcadio, whose notorious behaviour in the novel provoked outrage at the time of publication. Though in a more light-hearted vein than other works by Gide, this unusual novel still questions how individuals should live their life when faced with the rigid social and ethical structures that surround us.
