André Gide

André Paul Guillaume Gide (1869-1951), known as André Gide, was a renowned French writer. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947 and founder of the prestigious publishing house Gallimard, André Gide is the author of memorable books such as "The Immoralist," "If It Die...," "Strait is the Gate," and "The Counterfeiters," among others. His work contains many autobiographical elements and explores moral, religious, and sexual conflicts. "The Immoralist" is a parable about the dialectic between nature and morality, as well as a reflection on the unfolding of individual freedom. A thought-provoking work that still retains its power to challenge complacent attitudes and unfounded cultural assumptions, it narrates the attempt of a young Parisian to overcome social and sexual conformity. "The Immoralist" is included in the famous critical selection: "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die."

The Immoralist - Gide

André Paul Guillaume Gide (1869-1951), known as André Gide, was a renowned French writer. Nobel Prize winner in Literature in 1947 and founder of the prestigious Gallimard Publishing House, André Gide is one of the most prominent figures in French cultural life of this century. His works present many autobiographical aspects and expose moral and religious conflicts that do not disregard his homosexual tendencies. With the experimental novel "The Counterfeiters," written in 1925, André Gide reached the peak of his writing career. It is a novel with a complex and multiple plot, continuously interrupted by reflections from the novelist Edouard. "The Counterfeiters" is currently considered a masterpiece of French literature.

The Counterfeiters - Gide

"Corydon" is the title of a set of essays by André Gide on homosexuality. The text was published separately between 1911 and 1920, and the complete book only had its first French edition in 1924. The essays make use of the testimony of naturalists, historians, poets, and philosophers to support Gide's argument that homosexuality existed in culturally and artistically advanced civilizations (such as Periclean Greece, the Italian Renaissance, and Elizabethan England), which was reflected in writers and artists from Homer and Virgil to Titian and Shakespeare in their representations of male-male relationships in a non-platonic or friendship form, as others proclaimed. Corydon, like its author, faced strong reactions from the conservative society of the time, but what the author did was simply to openly discuss the topic of homosexuality in sociological and historical terms. Corydon is a profound book that deserves to be read, regardless of the reader's view on the subject of homosexuality.

Corydon - Gide

The French writer, André Gide, Nobel Laureate in Literature in 1947, wrote "The Fruits of the Earth" while suffering from tuberculosis. In the form of a long letter or discourse to an imaginary correspondent - Nathanael, an idealized disciple and companion - it appears to be a hymn to the intoxicating pleasures of everyday life, truly appreciable only by someone close to death, for whom each breath is miraculous. It speaks of sensations such as the taste of blackberries, the flavor of lemons, and the peculiar feeling that one can only obtain in the shade of certain well-kept gardens. The central idea is that we should let our senses guide us, without any repression, without any anguish: traveling without a destination, savoring every small detail that nature reserves for our pleasure. Gide wrote "The Fruits of the Earth" while still young and managed to infuse his work with an intensity and sense of urgency that few writers have achieved.
