Über diesen Titel

Nobel Prize-winning writer André Gide marks his voyage toward self-discovery in this imaginative allegorical work.

When Urien and his sailing companions begin their voyage, it is to places unknown and, perhaps, only dreamed. This allegorical masterpiece from André Gide, a key figure of French letters, deftly illustrates the techniques and doctrine of the Symbolist movement - and the dual nature of Gide’s own psyche. Written at a crucial time in his artistic development, this imaginative work signals his gradual abandonment of acetic celibacy toward an embrace of pleasure and carnal desires, revealing a Gide more transparent in this early work than in his mature writings.

Translator and scholar Wade Baskin annotates the work, connecting Gide’s life and bibliography to the text.

Gide is famous as probably the most eloquent writer in french literature, writing for decades novels, poems, essays. While too able to portray the mostly severe biblical and classical scenes in a humane way, Gide undergos with this novel, Urien's voyage a change in attitude and describes a phantastic world along the voyage of some fellows in a land of women who overwhelm all men. On one side there remains a world of abstract symbols, of mythology, but on the other, Gide just seems to enjoy life and opens the way for his, if even subtle, yet satirical works. This development made him controversial and in 1952 his whole work was banished by the roman-catholic church.

This audiobook contains only the first episode of three. Nevertheless I found it impressive to listen to.
