Bound, spine and edges of covers stained. Interiors clean and fresh, uncut. A fine copy.

Beyond feminine identity or the condition of women, Gide, in the trilogy of L’École des femmes, more generally offers a reflection on individual singularity. Geneviève thus appears as a text not so much current and future as historical and retrospective, where Gide, continuing his debate with nationalists, raises the question of the identity specific to minority groups, through the character of Sara, Jewish and object of homosexual desire.
