Strait Is the Gate. The Counterfeiters

André Gide was a well-known French writer whose works were celebrated for 60 years. His novella “The Narrow Door” tells of first love, and critics call it one of his best works. The novel became a bestseller in China and tells of forbidden love between cousins Jérôme and Alice. In his novel “The Counterfeiters,” Gide experimented with form and content, creating a multi-plot picture of French life after World War I and reflecting his moral, intellectual, and aesthetic searches.
