LA SYMPHONIE PASTORALE

When Andre Gide publishes his Symphonie Pastorale, in 1919, he is already a major figure of French literature, a reference for the younger generation. This book is mostly composed with the supposed Diary of a Protestant Minister that discovers in his own heart confused sentiment for his adoptive daughter... Critic against a world based upon hypocrisy, lies and mysticism, Andre Gide knows everything about mankind's weakness and delivers his vision in this fascinating book.
