The Counterfeiters
The Counterfeiters (French: "Les Faux-monnayeurs") is a 1925 novel by French author André Gide, first published in "Nouvelle Revue Française". With many characters and crisscrossing plotlines, its main theme is that of the original and the copy, and what differentiates them – both in the external plot of the counterfeit gold coins and in the portrayal of the characters' feelings and their relationships.
