A new translation by Richard Howard of one of Gide's important
first person recits which no doubt will replace that of Mrs.
Dorothy Bussy of forty years ago. Mr. Howard has tried "to espouse,
never to chasten" the tone of the original with all its highstrung
intensity. (Kirkus Reviews)
Michel knows nothing about love when he marries the gentle Marceline out of duty to his father. They travel to Tunisia for their honeymoon, where Michel becomes very ill. During his recovery, he meets a young Arab boy, whose radiant health and beauty captivate him. This is an awakening for him both sexually and morally and, in seeking to live according to his own desires, Michel discovers a new freedom. But, as he also finds, freedom can be a burden.
