Qu'une vieille mule comme Amédée Fleurissoire rencontre des escrocs, et le voilà en route pour Rome, persuadé d'aller sauver le pape. À ce jeu de dupes, il n'a pas grand chose à perdre sinon quelques illusions et beaucoup d'argent.
Qu'un jeune arriviste comme Lafcadio décide de se faire passer pour le fils naturel d'un grand auteur et le voilà maître à chanter. À ce jeu de dupes, il a tout à gagner.

À l'image de l'histoire de mystification qu'il raconte, il est possible que ce récit relève de la supercherie et révèle de la part de son auteur un certain penchant pour la facilité. Je ne garde quasiment aucun souvenir des passages sur le meurtre gratuit. Mais ce qui est sûr, c'est qu'à 15 ans, je serais tombée amoureuse de Lafcadio, et cela vaut bien quelques étoiles.

Gide is popular among good readers in Iran, i assume the only factor that temped the translator to work on this book was author's name and fame at least around here.

I thought the main character was somewhat ridiculous, but my professor saw a more likeable side to him.

An amazing book, a satyre with reminiscence of Dostoievsky.

یک چند اپیزودی از ژید. اولش شاید از زیاد بودن کاراکتر ها حوصلتون سر بره و خسته بشین. ولی در آخر کتاب تمام این اپیزودها و کاراکترها به طرز هنرمندانه ای به هم مربوط میشن

My first Gide; atheism, anti-clericalism, Catholicism, crime, moves fast, the philosophy is in the action I guess.
Caves du Vatican is the correct title, cellars is a poor translation but the book has a good translation.

این اثر را می توان به طرز جالبی با ملکوت (بهرام صادقی) مقایسه کرد.
احتمالا این مار را انجام خواهم داد.

Smart, funny, and above all, a hilarious story. I was surprised to find out that it was written in 1914.
