Gide, André

Le Prométhée mal enchaîné (1899; Prometheus Misbound), a return to the satirical style of Urien's Voyage and Marshland, is Gide's last discussion of man's search for individual values. His next tales mark the beginning of his great creative period. L'Immoraliste (1902; The Immoralist), La Porte étroite (1909; Strait Is the Gate), and La Symphonie pastorale (1919; “The Pastoral Symphony”) reflect Gide's
