About This Novel
"The Immoral" is a famous work by Gide, the master of modern French literature and winner of the 1947 Nobel Prize for Literature. This autobiographical novel tells the story of a young scholar, Michelle, who did not know there was life outside of books at first. He was seriously ill and almost died. After recovering, he discovered the joy of life and the joy of the senses. From then on, he "renewed himself", got rid of moral constraints, and pursued a debauched life. When his wife was suffering from illness, he still found it difficult to contain his wanderlust, and eventually she died of sorrow and illness.
