Bargain @ $2.99 for today only (Nov 24th) according to the newsletter from Open Road Media (couponable @ Kobo, should be available in all the standard Canada & US stores, may also be discounted in other regions as well, etc.):

The White Notebook by the late 1947 Nobel Prize-winning French author Andre Gidé (Wikipedia), translated by Wade Baskin. This is the 1st part of his 1891 semi-autobiographical novel Les cahiers d'André Walter and comes with an extensive introductory note by the translator.

This first published work lays bare the early brilliance and philosophical conflicts of André Gide, a towering figure in French literature

Nobel Prize–winning writer André Gide lays bare his adolescent psyche in this early work, first conceived and published as part of his novel The Notebooks of André Walter, completed when he was just twenty years old. This profoundly personal work draws heavily on his religious upbringing and private journals to tell the story of a young man who, like the author, pines for his forbidden love, cousin Emmanuelle.

This unique portrait of Gide as a young man presents the passions and conflicts, temptations and anguish he would explore in maturity.
