André Gide is one of the most important figures in French letters. By many he is even regarded as the greatest contemporary proseur and "Strait Is the Gate" is an extremely beautiful book. It is high time that he should be given to American readers and his publishers deserve gratitude far having presented him in an accomplished translation. But one wonders if in performing an introduction it was necessary so completely to misrepresent him. "Strait Is the Gate,' in it study of French puritanism, will be a revelation to those who imagine that this malady of the soul is peculiar to the Anglo Saxon world.
