Résumé
The influence of the sociologists of the Belle Époque on the work of André Gide seems more or less ignored. Within his work, two books directly echo the sociological thought of the end of the 19th century and in particular the theories of Gabriel Tarde: L’Immoraliste and Les Caves du Vatican. These two novels have in common the fact of proposing an interrogation on crime and on the criminal, which could be fed by the books devoted to the question by Gabriel Tarde (La Criminologie comparée, 1886, La Philosophie pénale, 1890). Gide indeed uses ideas from sociology to develop morality, because he aims to defend and justify homosexuality, a question posed indirectly in L’Immoraliste and Les Caves du Vatican.
