Il a ete tire: 100 exemplaires sur papier verge. 12 - sur papier de Hollande. Andre Gide (Andre Paul Guillaume, 1869-1951) was a French author and winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, in 1947. Known for his fiction as well as his autobiographical works, Gide reflects the conflict and eventual reconciliation between the two sides of his personality, split apart by his free spirit and a narrow social moralism. Gide became a leader of French liberal thought and was one of the founders (1909) of the influential Nouvelle Revue francaise. He was controversial for his frank defense of homosexuality and for his espousal of Communism and his subsequent disavowal of it after a visit to the Soviet Union. Good +.
