The book "Prometheus Illbound" is one of the most characteristic
books of Andre Gide: a work of pure intelectual fantasy, where the
subtle brain of the author has full play. It is the expression of
the humorous side of a mind which must be ranked among the greatest
of the world's literature. "The work of art is the exaggeration of
an idea," says Gide in the epilogue of "Prometheus Illbound." This
is really the explanation of the whole book and of many other books
of Gide. --- Andre Paul Guillaume Gide (1869-1951) was a French
author and winner of the Nobel Prize in literature in 1947. His
other works include: "Les Caves du Vatican" ("Lafcadio's
Adventures"), "Les Nourritures Terrestres" ("Fruits of the Earth"),
"La Porte Etroite" ("Strait is the Gate"), "L'Immoraliste" ("The
Immoralist") and many others.
