He is puritanical but pagan - an ascetic who adores sensuality - an atheist who yearns for God - a homosexual who all his life loved his wife, Madeleine Rondeaux - he strived for objectivity while remaining one of the most introspective of writers - he needed the rainy domesticity of Normandy and the sun-baked wildness of North Africa - despite his prolific output he produced only one novel (in his sense of the term) - he is very much a part of the modern European tradition (of Fyodor Dostoievsky, Friedrich Nietzsche, Rainer Maria Rilke, Gustave Flaubert, Arthur Rimbaud and St phane Mallarm ), while also standing outside it all, unclassifiable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book concentrates on the texts Fruits of the Earth, The Immoralist, and the Journals, and aspects of Gide's work such as art, religion, philosophy, love and identity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition has been completely updated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes illustrations featuring Gide, bibliography and notes.
