Summary

Nobel Prize-winning writer André Gide marks his voyage toward self-discovery in this imaginative allegorical work.

When Urien and his sailing companions begin their voyage, it is to places unknown and, perhaps, only dreamed. This allegorical masterpiece from André Gide, a key figure of French letters, deftly illustrates the techniques and doctrine of the Symbolist movement - and the dual nature of Gide’s own psyche. Written at a crucial time in his artistic development, this imaginative work signals his gradual abandonment of acetic celibacy toward an embrace of pleasure and carnal desires, revealing a Gide more transparent in this early work than in his mature writings.

Translator and scholar Wade Baskin annotates the work, connecting Gide’s life and bibliography to the text.

Slim Fantasy

Not much of plot or character on this fantasy travelogue. Some nice poetic language in describing light and water. Narrator has a consistent fail in continued mispronunciation of author's name.
