Autorenporträt
Andre Paul Guillaume Gide, born on November 22, 1869, in Paris, France, was a renowned French writer whose works spanned a wide range of styles and themes. A prominent figure in the literary world, Gide was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947. His career began within the symbolist movement, and he later became known for his criticism of imperialism, particularly during the period between the two World Wars. His works often explored themes of personal freedom, morality, and the complexity of human desires. Gide was influenced by notable writers such as Victor Hugo, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Oscar Wilde. He married Madeleine Rondeaux in 1895, and they had a daughter, Catherine Gide. Gide s parents were Juliette Rondeaux and Paul Gide. He passed away on February 19, 1951, in Paris at the age of 81. His legacy continues to shape modern literature through his exploration of individualism and societal constraints.
