Synopsis
"Strait is the Gate", first published in 1909 in France as "La Porte etroite", is a novel about the failure of love in the face of the narrowness of the moral philosophy of Protestantism. André Gide (1869 - 1951) was a French author and winner of the Nobel Prize in literature in 1947. Gide's work can be seen as an investigation of freedom and empowerment in the face of moralistic and puritan constraints and gravitates around his continuous effort to achieve intellectual honesty.

Review
Tale by Andre Gide, published in 1909 as La Porte etroite. It is one of the first of his works to treat the problems of human relationships. The work contrasts the yearning toward asceticism and self-sacrifice with the need for sensual exploration as a young woman struggles with conflicting feelings about the man who wants to marry her. Gide designated Strait Is the Gate as a recit, which he defined as a consciously stark but basically ironic tale narrated by, and told from the viewpoint of, a single character. --The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
