Books by Andre Gide

Michel had been a blindfold scholar until, newly married, he contracted tuberculosis. His will to recover brings self-discovery and the growing desire to rebel against his background of culture, decency and morality. But the freedom from constraints that Michel finds on his restless travels is won at great cost.

Shatters various images of Andre Gide as the querulous and impious Buddha to a quarter-century of intellectuals.
