  André Gide - Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
André Gide (1869-1951) came from a family of Huguenots and recent converts to Catholicism.
Gide divided his narrative works into soties such as Les Caves du Vatican (1914) [Lafcadio's Adventures] and classically restrained récits, for example, La Porte étroite (1909) [Strait is the Gate] and La Symphonie pastorale (1919).
Until the twenties Gide was known chiefly in avant-garde and esoteric literary circles (he was one of the founders of La Nouvelle Revue Française), but in his later years he became a highly influential, although always controversial figure.

André Gide, one of the premier French writers of the twentieth century, reflected his homosexuality in many of his numerous works.
Gide was born in Paris on November 22, 1869, at what he later termed a "crossroads," the intersection of his father Paul's southern, Huguenot, and modest upbringing, and his mother Juliette Rondeaux's Norman, bourgeois, and wealthy background.
As a youth, Gide suffered from fits, headaches, insomnia, unexplainable fatigues, and feelings of insecurity, the physical and mental manifestations of an unsettling and confused childhood.

Gide manages to make this slippery slope of debauchery and outrageous selfishness somehow comprehensible, but it is unclear what conclusions we are to draw after reading The Immoralist.
Gide doesn't really go into the results of treating other human beings merely as obstacles or instruments in one's own quest for fulfillment.
One of great surprises of reading Andre Gide's classic novel, THE IMMORALIST, is the light it shines on the study of balanced and imbalanced demands made on women within the context of marriage.
