“In La Porte étroite Gide's style of writing shows at its best, simple but sensitive, subtle, and yet on this occasion without any element of pretension, natural yet capable of conveying the most delicate nuance of meaning.”
Tylden-Wright analyses the distinctive genius of writers as diverse as Valéry, Gide, Martin du Gard, Bosco, Giono, Mauriac and Bernanos. His final chapter is a study of three typical French writers, St. Exupéry, Malraux and Camus.
