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 one of the most prominent figures in French cultural life. His work contains many autobiographical elements and explores moral, religious, and sexual conflicts. Born and died in Paris, André Gide was orphaned of his father at the age of eleven and was raised by a strict and puritanical mother who, through rigorous moral rules and prohibitions, forced him to suppress the impulses of his personality. His childhood and youth had a decisive influence on his work, almost all of which is autobiographical, and later led him to reject all limitations and constraints.
