Der Griesgram
Ein Griesgram, der namenlose Protagonist dieses abgründigen »äußeren Monologs«, stellt in wütenden Tiraden die abgeschmackte Belanglosigkeit dieser Welt bloß, der sich Frau und Kinder, der einzige Freund, überhaupt die gesamte Menschheit längst ergeben haben. Doch seine Überheblichkeit befreit ihn nicht, vielmehr zwingt sie ihn immer wieder zurück ins enge gesellschaftliche Korsett.
Gides Erzählung, eine zynische »Weihnachtsgeschichte«, bei der sich sein Protagonist gehörig verrechnet, ist das verschrobene Protokoll einer griesgrämigen Implosion und einer tödlichen Explosion, fabelhaft in Szene gesetzt von Nanne Meyer.
Erst 1993 entdeckt, entstand das Manuskript »Le Grincheux« vermutlich in den Jahren 1925/26 und erscheint nun erstmals in deutscher Sprache.

About the author
André Gide
617 books1,585 followersDiaries and novels, such as
The Immoralist
(1902) and
Lafcadio's Adventures
(1914), of noted French writer André Gide examine alienation and the drive for individuality in an often disapproving society; he won the Nobel Prize of 1947 for literature.
André Paul Guillaume Gide authored books. From beginnings in the symbolist movement, career of Gide ranged to anticolonialism between the two World Wars.
Known for his fiction as well as his autobiographical works, Gide exposes the conflict and eventual reconciliation to public view between the two sides of his personality; a straight-laced education and a narrow social moralism split apart these sides. One can see work of Gide as an investigation of freedom and empowerment in the face of moralistic and puritan constraints, and it gravitates around his continuous effort to achieve intellectual honesty. His self-exploratory texts reflect his search of full self, even to the point of owning sexual nature without betraying values at the same time. After his voyage of 1936 to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the same ethos informs his political activity, as his repudiation of Communism suggests.

Ein griesgrämiger Misanthrop zieht in dem schmalen Band in einem Rundumschlag über die Menschheit her - über seine Familie, die Welt im allgemeinen - ein Kritiker beschreibt es sehr passend: Eine schmollende Liebeserklärung an die Welt
