La porte étroite / Strait Is the Gate (Paperback Bunko)

The characters' struggles with faith and morality felt very nuanced. I'm curious whether Gide drew from personal beliefs or societal observations.

Some sections felt contemplative and dense, which made me wonder if Gide was emphasizing the internal debate over external action.

The cultural and social backdrop seems integral to the characters' dilemmas. I'm interested in what prompted Gide to set it in this specific context.
