This book contains three novellas by Nobel Prize-winning writer Gide: "The Narrow Gate", "The Bad Guy" and "Pastoral Symphony": In "The Bad Guy", the protagonist Michel received a serious religious education from an early age and spent his youth in various books. He did not understand life or the love between husband and wife. His body was weak and he suddenly coughed up blood. Thanks to his wife's careful care, he recovered his health. This serious illness became a turning point in his life. He passionately threw himself into the embrace of nature and regained his strong body. However, his spirit began to "degenerate" and he pursued sensory stimulation, which eventually caused his wife to die of depression. Contrary to the bohemianism shown in "The Illegal", "The Narrow Gate", written in diary style, shows restraint and restraint. Jerome and his cousin Alyssa fell in love, but could not be together due to obstacles in their hearts. After Alyssa witnessed her mother elope with others and her sister living a dull married life, she could not bear any obstacles that hindered the path to perfect love. She adhered to the self-restraint of the Puritans, buried her feelings deep in her heart, and regarded her own existence as an obstacle for Jerome to approach God, and finally chose to die alone. And Jerome has always placed Alyssa in a very high position and worked hard to improve himself to be worthy of her. After Alyssa died, he could no longer fall in love with anyone else. Also expressing the conflict between human nature and religion, "Pastoral Symphony" is particularly complex. The story mainly tells the story of a country priest who adopted a blind girl who became an orphan. The priest cared deeply about her and tried his best to enlighten her mind. However, the pastor unknowingly fell in love, which caused great pain to his wife. After the blind girl regained her sight, she realized that she loved the pastor's son Jacques. However, Jacques was unable to get married because he had converted to religion. The desperate blind girl finally chose to commit suicide.
