Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This is Nobel Laureate André Gide's major autobiographical statement. We may see the seeds of the themes that preoccupied him throughout his career in the incidents and musings documented here. Gide lived a life of unflinching self-examination, and his literary creations were snapshots of that existence. With If It Die, Gide set out to recount the events of his youth and the birth of his philosophical wanderings without sentiment or exaggeration, and in doing so, to bring it all to light. If It Die is a significant book of twentieth-century literature because of Gide's unashamed depiction of his awakening homosexual yearning and his portrait of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas as they indulged in decadence in North Africa.

This is the major autobiographical statement from Nobel laureate André Gide. In the events and musings recorded here we find the seeds of those themes that obsessed him throughout his career and imbued his classic novels The Immoralist and The Counterfeiters. Gide led a life of uncompromising self-scrutiny, and his literary works resembled moments of that life. With If It Die, Gide determined to relay without sentiment or embellishment the circumstances of his childhood and the birth of his philosophic wanderings, and in doing so to bring it all to light. Gide’s unapologetic account of his awakening homosexual desire and his portrait of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas as they indulged in debauchery in North Africa are thrilling in their frankness and alone make If It Die an essential companion to the work of a twentieth-century literary master.
