<DIV><b>Personal recollections from Andr&eacute; Gide on a man who profoundly influenced his work&mdash;Oscar Wilde</b></div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Andr&eacute; Gide, a towering figure in French letters, draws upon his friendship with Oscar Wilde to sketch a compelling portrait of the tragic, doomed author, both celebrated and shunned in his time. Rather than compile a complete biography, Gide invites us to discover Wilde as he did&mdash;from their first meeting in 1891 to their final parting just two years before Wilde&rsquo;s death&mdash;all told through Gide&rsquo;s sensitive, incomparable prose.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Using his notes, recollections, and conversations, Gide illuminates Wilde as a man whose true art was not writing, but living.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features a new introduction by Jeanine Parisier Plottel, selected quotes, and an image gallery.</div>
