Madeleine

Autor Andre Gide Justin O'Brien
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 1989
Madeleine is the story of a great writer s marriage, a deeply disturbing account of Andre Gide s feelings towards his beloved and long-suffering wife. It was a relationship which Gide exalted he termed it the central drama of his existence yet deliberately shrouded in mystery. This was no ordinary marriage. Madeleine Rondeaux, two years older than her cousin Andre Gide, became his wife after Gide s first visit to Algeria. In his Journal, Gide refers to her as Emmanuele or as Em. Only in this book, published a few months after his death, does Gide call her by her real name and painfully reveal the nature of their life together. All of Gide s vast work may be viewed as a confession, impelled by his need to write what he believed to be true about himself. In Madeleine this act of confession reaches a crowning point. It is a complex tale by a complex man about a complex relationship. Ranks among the masterpieces of Gide s vibrating prose. It is also the most tragic personal document to have emanated from Gide s pen. New York Times."

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"Madeleine" is the story of a great writer's marriage, a deeply disturbing account of Andre Gide's feelings toward his beloved and long-suffering wife. It was a relationship which Gide exalted-- he termed it the central drama of his existance-- yet deliberately shrouded in mystery.

This was no ordinary marriage. Madeleine Rondeaux, two years older than her cousin Andre Gide, became his wife after Gide's first visit to Algeria. In his "Journal", Gide refers to her as Emmanuele or as Em. Only in this book, written after her death and published a few months after his own death, does Gide call her by her real name and painfully reveal hte nature of their life together. In French, the book was published as "Et Nunc Manet in Te"-- from the line attributed to Virgil concerning the lost Eurydice, "and now she remains in you".

All of Gide's vast work may be viewed as a confession, impelled by his need to write what he believed to be true about himself. In "Madeleine" this act of confession reaches a crowning point. It isa complex tale by a complex man about a complex relationship.
