This 1953 edition of “Marshlands and Prometheus Misbound” by Andre Gide is a remarkable find for collectors and readers alike. Gide, a Nobel Prize-winning French author, was a prominent figure in the early 20th century literary scene, known for his explorations of morality, sexuality, and the human condition. “Marshlands,” a collection of prose poems, showcases Gide’s poetic mastery and his ability to capture the essence of nature and the human experience. “Prometheus Misbound,” a play inspired by Aeschylus’ “Prometheus Bound,” offers a unique interpretation of the Greek myth, reflecting Gide’s philosophical and existential musings. Despite the wear on the dust jacket and hardcover, this copy remains in good condition, with clean pages and a secure binding, allowing readers to immerse themselves in Gide’s introspective and thought-provoking works. This volume serves as a testament to Gide’s literary genius and his enduring influence on modern literature, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
