André Gide's 'Diary' is considered by many to be his most important work, a recreation of the genre as a literary work aimed at a reader. This diary is a chronicle of the vicissitudes of our time, allowing us to follow the intimate and spiritual trajectory of a man who questioned morality and immorality. Painters, politicians, musicians, writers, his wife Madeleine, his lover Marc, erotic adventures, travels, intellectual odysseys, religious crises and wars parade through its pages. This selection, made and translated by Laura Freixas, includes unpublished texts until 1996, introducing us to the world of a central figure in the culture of the 20th century.
André Paul Guillaume Gide was a French author whose writing spanned a wide variety of styles and topics. He was awarded the 1947 Nobel Prize in Literature. Gide's career ranged from his beginnings in the symbolist movement to criticising imperialism between the two World Wars. Author of more than 50 books, he was described in his New York Times obituary as "France's greatest contemporary man of letters" and "judged the greatest French writer of this century by the literary cognoscenti."
