I had previously read the book Women's School by Andre Gide, the sincere voice of French Literature, and frankly, I liked it more than Pastoral Symphony, but what makes it enjoyable to read is that the author includes inspirations from his life in this book and writes it in the form of a diary. A diary like a novel.
While Andre Gide, who magnificently describes spiritual blindness beyond physical blindness, conveys the souls struggling to find peace, internal conflicts, dilemmas, confusion and contradictions in a symphonic language, #Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony can be heard in the background.
A priest who bases his life on love and goodness, who believes that the heart has no room for any bad feelings, is torn between his beliefs and a love that is seen as forbidden love in the eyes of society, the change that that blind girl, to whom he taught nothing but goodness and beauty for years, experiences before his eyes, and its wonderful ending. It was a different kind of beauty. It is a book that won the Nobel Prize. Even though the course of the book disturbed the forbidden thoughts that formed in the mind, I think the ending I saw satisfied me.
Even though we have a hard time accepting it, "The color of truth is gray." I can tell you to add this short classic to your reading lists.
