Gide's Eagles (A Chicago Classic)

By Harry Moore and Ben F. Stoltzfus

An ingenious metaphor provides the framework for this pene­trating study of Andr Gide. To explore Gide's "labyrinth of values," Ben Stoltzfus uses the Prometheus legend as a point of departure, and with discerning erudition develops the thread that runs throughout Gide's writings. Each book, from Les Cahiers d'Andr Walter (1891) to Th s e (1946), along with his voluminous Journal, is seen as revealing a moral and aesthetic effort to draw away from bondage or self-deception, from spiritual blindness, and from submission to authority.
