Reader comments
I especially like the "Pastoral Symphony". It is like a melancholy piece of music, which makes me feel Gide's profound thinking about human nature and the world. This reminds me of Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence", which is also an exploration of human nature. Moreover, the characters in the book are all very vivid, like Alyssa, her perseverance and sacrifice are touching. I think this book is worth reading, it will give you more insights into life.
Great book! I just felt stuck after watching the ending. Friends who like to watch he should be careful.
