This debut work lays bare the early brilliance and philosophical
conflicts of Andre Gide, a towering figure in French literature.
Andre Gide, one of the masters of French literature, captures the
essence of the philosophical Romantic in this profoundly personal
first novel, completed when he was just twenty years old. Drawing
heavily on his religious upbringing and private journals, The
Notebooks of Andre Walter with its white and black halves tells the
story of a young man pining for his forbidden love, cousin
Emmanuelle. But his evocative memories and devoted yearnings,
carefully crafted through quotations and diary excerpts, lead only
to madness and death. Annotated with footnotes from translator and
scholar Wade Baskin, this story within a story offers a unique
portrait of the artist as a young man, as it reveals the key themes
of self-analysis and moral conscience that Gide explores in his
mature works.
