Modelo Os moedeiros falsos não são para Gide apenas os jovens ue escoam dinheiro fraudulento mas os falsários no espírito e na letra todos os ue vivem na mentira de sentimentos fals. A novel as much about writing as it is about coded homosexuality in 1920's France a time lest we forget that Gertrude Stein and Alice B Toklas just about ruled that town Two rival writers Edouard and Robert fall for the same impressionable young boy Olivier who decides to run off with Robert the famous and less honorable of the two Edouard a kind of stand in for Gide is Olivier's uncle through marriage and in the loss of his beloved nephew opts instead of his schoolfriend Bernard The intersections that follow among writing instruction publishing entry into adulthood and sexuality are noteworthy but not tooAlso noteworthy is the form of this novel It reads precisely like something out of Austen Many of the novels are structured around the meeting of two characters Even the titles indicate such Bernard and Olivier Vincent Meets Passavant at Lady Griffith's Bernard Meets Olivier etc The novel has that 19th century breadth of including everyone from the aristocracy to the poor girl pregnant out of wedlock And this in 1925 The Great Gatsby came out in 1925I can't uite figure it out There's a strong anti decadent bent in this novel Robert the comte who drags Olivier to the dark side is painted as a kind of Wildean figure which is interesting given the friendship shared between Wilde and Gide It's only when Olivier realizes he needs to abandon Robert and side himself with a modernistic writer like his uncle that he is safe Perhaps Gide's trying to resurrect an approach to the novel the decadents tried to do away with I mean the novel ends with a boy's accidental suicide out of the blue It's practically right out of Dickens but like act two of Dickens

Les Faux monnayeursRadicionais Para tanto Les Faux PDF or Gide concebe um herói o escritor Edouard ue lhe é muito próximo e o contrapõe a Bernard Profitendieu ue a seu jeito é igualmente um personagem. The reputation of the Faux Monnayeurs is that it is an experimental novel that succeeds only where it is conventional Gide's experimentation comes in the form of a magically real angel multiple narrative points of view combined with subplots and characters than would normally be considered prudent in a well controlled workAt 19 I liked it because the author maintained a rapid pace and clearly had great affection for his characters As well the discussion on homosexuality was new to me Because Gide obviously knew the topic very well I felt that the Faux Monnayeurs delivered great insightI was stunned when an angel appeared in the novel to wrestle with Bernard as if he were Jacob I was then very glad to see that Bernard was subseuently able to make peace with his adopted fatherThe novel however ends on a very cruel note as a bullied child commits suicide in front of his classmates I had frankly hoped that the Angel could have saved the little boy and still regret that he did notThis is a great novel about the soul searching of adolescent males during their late teens I recommend it well before Catcher in the Rye
