Summary: Personal recollections from Andr�e Gide on a man who profoundly influenced his work-Oscar Wilde   Andr�e 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-from their first meeting in 1891 to their final parting just two years before Wilde's death-all told through Gide's sensitive, incomparable prose.   Using his notes, recollections, and conversations, Gide illuminates Wilde as a man whose true art was not writing, but living.   This ebook features a new introduction by Jeanine Parisier Plottel, selected quotes, and an image gallery.
