«La puerta estrecha» is a novel by French writer André Gide, published by Orbi Fabri in hardcover (125 pages, in Spanish).
Jérôme Palissier, a young Parisian, spends summers at his uncle's country house in Normandy and falls in love with his cousin Alissa. She, fearing Jérôme's passion, chooses renunciation and spiritual asceticism. Narrated as an intimate confession, the novel deals with love, Puritan morality, and the conflict between life and virtue.
The original title of the work is «La Porte Étroite», published in 1909. This 1997 edition belongs to the Grandes Pasiones de la Literatura collection.
For those seeking French literary classics and intimate stories about love and morality.
