The Immoralist (French: L'Immoraliste) is a novel by André Gide, published in France in 1902. The Immoralist is a recollection of events that Michel narrates to his three visiting friends. One of those friends solicits job search assistance for Michel by including in a letter to Monsieur D. R., Président du Conseil, a transcript of Michel's first-person account.
Important points of Michel's story are his recovery from tuberculosis; his attraction to a series of Arab boys and to his estate caretaker's son; and the evolution of a new perspective on life and society. Through his journey, Michel finds a kindred spirit in the rebellious Ménalque.
জিদের এই উপন্যাসটা স্ট্রেইট ইজ দি গেইটের মত ইন্টেন্স না, তবে আরো গভীর। কনভেনশনাল মোরালিটিকে সম্পূর্ণ জাস্টিফিকেশনের সাথেই ডিনাই করলে তার ফলাফল কী হতে পারে তার বেশ ভালো এক্সপোজিশন এটি।
