André Gide
The Immoralist is a daring, psychologically charged novel about self-discovery, desire, and the cost of personal freedom.
When Michel, a young French scholar, survives a near-fatal illness during his honeymoon in North Africa, he emerges transformed. Rejecting the values that once defined him, he becomes obsessed with living authentically—following instinct rather than convention, pleasure rather than duty. As Michel sheds the expectations of society, marriage, and morality, his pursuit of liberation leads him into increasingly troubling territory.
Provocative and introspective, The Immoralist explores the tension between self-realisation and responsibility, asking a question that remains unsettlingly relevant today: what happens when the search for personal truth comes at the expense of everything—and everyone—else?
André Gide (1869–1951) was one of France's most influential modern writers and the recipient of the 1947 Nobel Prize in Literature. Known for his fearless examinations of morality, identity, and individual freedom, Gide helped shape twentieth-century literature through works that challenged social conventions and explored the complexities of human desire.
