The Counterfeiters by Andre Gide

The 1925 French novel by André Gide
"Les faux-monneyeurs" ( The Counterfeiters  ): Constructed with a greater range and scope than his previous short fiction,  The Counterfeiters  is Gide's most complex and intricately plotted work. It is a novel within a novel, concerning the relatives and teachers of a group of schoolboys who are subjected to corrupting influences both in and out of the classroom. In a progression of unconnected scenes and events, the novel approximates the texture of daily life.
