L'immoraliste by André Gide
"L'immoraliste" by André Gide is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the character Michel, who reflects on his life and the choices he has made in relation to societal norms and personal freedom. It explores themes of morality, the complexities of human desire, and the struggles that arise from living authentically in a world filled with societal expectations. The opening of the novel introduces us tothe complex character of Michel, who is surrounded by friends from his past. As he prepares to recount his life story, he reflects on the events leading up to the present moment, including his marriage to Marceline, an act he entered into more out of obligation than love. The initial chapters describe Michel's introspection, revealing his inner conflicts and sense of detachment from his previous self. He reveals the influence of his upbringing and the struggle to reconcile this with his emerging desires and identity, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of freedom and self-discovery as the story unfolds.
