Strait is the Gate (Modern Classics)

"Strait is the Gate", first published in 1909 in France as "La Porte etroite", is a novel about the failure of love in the face of the narrowness of the moral philosophy of Protestantism. André Gide (1869 - 1951) was a French author and winner of the Nobel Prize in literature in 1947. Gide's work can be seen as an investigation of freedom and empowerment in the face of moralistic and puritan constraints and gravitates around his continuous effort to achieve intellectual honesty.
