The Irregulars·the Narrow Gate

About This Novel

"The Bad Guy" and "The Narrow Gate" can be called the "twin gems" in Gide's novels. The reason is that the protagonists of the two works embody completely opposite and symmetrical tendencies on moral issues: the protagonist of "The Bad Guy" abandons morality in order to pursue sensual enjoyment, while the protagonist of "The Narrow Gate" refuses worldly joy and happiness in order to maintain the virtue of the perfect Spring Festival. With great courage, Gide profoundly revealed the sharp and profound contradictions in his thoughts, with his fearless love for truth, and with his keen psychological insight, he presented various problems and situations of human nature.
