Here for your delectation is theSPECTACULAR & RARE-------------PRETEXTS: REFLECTIONS ON LITERATURE AND MORALITYby Andre Gide, Selected, Edited and Introducedby Justin O'Brien.André Gide (1869-1951) French writer, humanist, and moralist who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1947. As a novelist, and still more as an intellectual figure, Gide has appealed to different audiences: a traditional psychological novelist to some, an innovative modernist to others; he was a major literary critic, social crusader, and spokesman for homosexual rights. Gide's search for self - the underlying theme of his several works - remained essentially religious. Throughout his career Gide used his writings to examine moral questions. He is as well known for his influence as a moralist and as a thinker as for his contributions to literature.
