安德烈．紀德 (André Gide)

About the Author

André Gide (1869-1951) was a pioneering French author and Nobel Prize winner in Literature (1947), renowned for his introspective explorations of morality, desire, and the human psyche. Born in Paris to a bourgeois family, Gide's early life was marked by a profound inner conflict between his Protestant upbringing and emerging homosexual identity, themes that permeated his work. His literary career spanned novels, essays, and travelogues, challenging conventional norms and advocating for personal authenticity. Gide's influence extended to existentialism and modernism, with travels to North Africa profoundly shaping his worldview. Among his notable contributions is the reflective '遣悲懷（紀德逝世六十五週年紀念．人生二部曲之二） (Traditional Chinese Edition)', a poignant entry in his autobiographical '人生二部曲' series commemorating the 65th anniversary of his passing. Gide's legacy endures as a voice for intellectual freedom and self-discovery.
