Tournier's novel is a love story that uses the theme of twinship to explore a near infinity of dualities.Jean and Paul are identical twins. The mysterious bond between them excludes all others; they speak their own language; they are one perfectly harmonious unit; they are, in all innocence, lovers.For Paul, this unity is paradise, but as they grow up Jean rebels against it. Outsiders, even their parents, cannot tell them apart, and call them Jean-Paul.
The exquisite love story of Jean-Paul is set against the ugliness and pain of human existence. He takes a mistress and deserts his brother, but Paul sets out to follow him in a pilgrimage that leads all around the world, through places that reflect their separation--the mirrored halls of Venice, the Zen gardens of Japan, the newly divided city of Berlin. Gemini is a novel of extraordinary proportions,
