Ce roman succède aux Nourritures terrestres et, à bien des égards, il illustre, par le biais de la fiction, les principes de l'ouvrage précédent. Le personnage de Ménalque est d'ailleurs présent dans les deux oeuvres et y joue le même rôle d'initiateur. L'Immoraliste, écrit après l'expérience libératrice vécue en Afrique du Nord dès 1893 et après le mariage de l'auteur, comporte à l'évidence des éléments autobiographiques. Gide s'est toutefois toujours vivement défendu d'être lui-même Michel, son héros. Les amis de Michel, venus, sur son appel, le rejoindre en Afrique du Nord, écoutent sa confession. Michel, jeune homme éduqué selon les valeurs puritaines, est promis à un brillant avenir scientifique, lorsqu'il part en voyage de noces avec sa femme Marceline qu'il a épousée sans véritable amour, pour rassurer son père mourant. La tuberculose, dont Michel se découvre atteint en Tunisie, va bouleverser la destinée de ces deux êtres. Ils s'arrêtent à Biskra où, à force de soins et d'amour, Marceline parvient à sauver son mari. Convalescent, celui-ci préfère à la compagnie de sa femme celle des enfants arabes. La maladie a laissé à Michel un appétit de vivre et une avidité de sensations qu'il avait jusqu'alors ignorés...

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Complete Works of R. Austin Freeman: Thriller Classics, Adventure Novels & Detective Stories (Illustrated)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Richard Austin Freeman (1862-1943) was a British writer of detective stories, mostly featuring the forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke. He introduced the inverted detective story; a crime fiction in which the commission of the crime is described at the beginning, usually including the identity of the perpetrator, with the story then describing the detective's attempt to solve the mystery. Many of the Dr. Thorndyke stories involve genuine, but often quite arcane, points of scientific knowledge, from areas such as tropical medicine and toxicology. Table of Contents: Introduction: Short Biography The Art of the Detective Story Dr. Thorndyke Series: Meet Dr. Thorndyke Novels The Red Thumb Mark The Eye of Osiris The Mystery of 31 New Inn A Silent Witness Helen Vardon's Confession The Cat's Eye The Mystery of Angelina Frood The Shadow of the Wolf The D'Arblay Mystery A Certain Dr. Thorndyke As a Thief in the Night Mr. Pottermack's Oversight Pontifex, Son and Thorndyke When Rogues Fall Out Dr. Thorndyke Intervenes For the Defence: Dr. Thorndyke The Penrose Mystery Felo De Se?
