Amoral

Michel knows nothing about love when he marries Marceline solely to make his father happy. When the couple honeymooned in Tunisia, Michel became seriously ill, and during his convalescence he experienced an attraction to an Arab boy. Since then, Michel has found new freedom in trying to live according to his own wishes. But he also found that freedom can be a burden. Amoral examines the inevitable conflicts that arise when a pleasure seeker challenges conventional society and, without morality, the novel raises complex issues involving the magnitude of human responsibility.
