FRUITS OF THE EARTH / GIDE, ANDRE

Título : FRUITS OF THE EARTH Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: GIDE, ANDRE Editorial: MIDDLESEX : PENGUIN Fecha de publicación: 1970 Número de páginas: 220 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: FRENCH LITERATURE  ANDRE PAUL GUILLAUME GIDE 1869 - 1951 PARIS Clasificación: 840 Littérature des langues romanes. Littérature française Resumen: During the author's travels, he meets Menalcas, a caricature of Oscar Wilde, who relates his fantastic life story. But for all his brilliance, Menalcas is only Gide's yesterday self, a discarded wraith who leaves Gide free to stop exalting the ego and embrace bodily and spiritual joy. Later Fruits of the Earth, written in 1935 during Gide's short-lived spell of communism, reaffirms the doctrine of the earlier book. But now he sees happiness not as freedom, but a submission to heroism. In a series of 'Encounters', Gide describes a Negro tramp, a drowned child, a lunatic and other casualties of life. These reconcile him to suffering, death and religion, causing him to insist that 'today's Utopia' be 'tomorrow's reality'.

IF IT DIE / GIDE, ANDRE

Título : IF IT DIE Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: GIDE, ANDRE Editorial: MIDDLESEX : PENGUIN Fecha de publicación: 1977 Número de páginas: 304 ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-375-72606-4 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: BIOGRAPHY;AUTOBIOGRAPHY;GIDE  ANDRÉ 1869 - 1951 FRANCE Resumen: This is the major autobiographical statement from Nobel laureate André Gide. In the events and musings recorded here we find the seeds of those themes that obsessed him throughout his career and imbued his classic novels The Immoralist and The Counterfeiters. Gide led a life of uncompromising self-scrutiny, and his literary works resembled moments of that life. With If It Die, Gide determined to relay without sentiment or embellishment the circumstances of his childhood and the birth of his philosophic wanderings, and in doing so to bring it all to light. Gide’s unapologetic account of his awakening homosexual desire and his portrait of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas as they indulged in debauchery in North Africa are thrilling in their frankness and alone make If It Die an essential companion to the work of a twentieth-century literary master.
