Literature - La porte étroite (The narrow door)


La Porte Étroite is a French novel written by André Gide published in 1909. It is very sad and moving story which probes some of the complexities and terrors of adolescence and growing up. Based on a very Freudian interpretation, the story uses the influences of childhood experience and the misunderstandings that can arise between two people.
