...governments had long made plain they intended to do. But the British pledge of actual participation in the European Army's working was designed to reassure the many Frenchmen who fear that otherwise, the efficient Germans will use it to dominate the French.

...with the genius of the theater. There is a little the air of a case history, yet without quite enough documentation, let alone drama.

Gide's novel, though not very creative, is much less explicit and more complex; in the play every character-corrupt Biskran houseboy, self-accepting homosexual shepherd-articulates a philosophy, is "placed" in the moral landscape. Everything is formulated rather than expressed...
