Judge About Books The Counterfeiters

5/5, because it would feel wrong to give it any less.I read Les Faux-monnayeurs (translated as The Counterfeiters in English) for school, and I went into it with a pretty pessimistic attitude considering it was a required read and I had to read it in French (I tend to read french books slower). But, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised; not only did my attitude towards it change only a few pages in, but I ended up really loving it. Les Faux-monnayeurs was the first book I read by Gide. so I

The Counterfeiters is a book about writing a book, also called "The Counterfeiters". That is the primary theme of the novel which comes from the title of the book by the writer Edouard. Thus The Counterfeiters is a novel-within-a-novel, with Edouard (the alter ego of Gide) writing a book of the same title. Other stylistic devices are also used, such as an omniscient narrator that sometimes addresses the reader directly, weighs in on the characters' motivations or discusses alternate realities.

Ah, God bless the French! (I wonder if it's the first time anyone has ever written that.)I happen to love French writers and, thusly prejudiced, found this book by Andre Gide to be exceptional.

This book was sooooo long! but i actually ended up finding it really nice

The Counterfeiters is the main novel of the work of the French author André Gide. It tells the story of a multitude of characters, each of which symbolizes the different incarnations of the author, declaims all philosophical theories on the novel and art and human relations and develops them up to convince the reader, just before continuing in another character (taken in a new context generally) an idea that has everything contradictory and which appears to us just as right. In the end the story

"To disturb is my function. The public always prefers to be reassured. There are those whose job this is. There are only too many."Those words sound like something Andy Warhol might have said (in fact he said something very much like it). Indeed, The Counterfeiters (Les Faux-monnayeurs) is deeply disturbing on many levels, especially when read in today's socio-political climate of Me-Too and Time's-Up, though pederasty was considered wrong long before this. Andre Gide, a public defender of

3.5 stars. Gide's The Counterfeiters weaves a complex tapestry of characters and plot-lines centered on the theme of finding one's genuine self. However, we can only do so through the lens of others, all of whom are on the same quest for self-knowledge. To tell his story, Gide uses an alter-ego protagonist, Edouard, who is compiling notes to write a novel called The Counterfeiters, which will include his theories on the novel and the artist's search for true self-expression. Gide tells his story
