Riassunto:

This memoir, drawn from the journals of Roger Martin du Gard, records his thirty-year friendship with Andre Gide, who was recognized as one of the most brilliant and original minds of the twentieth century. The fascinating, quirky, and intimate portrait of Gide drawn here can be relished by someone who has never read or perhaps even heard of him.
We eavesdrop on these two remarkable men, both Nobel Prize winners, as they talk about their lives, work, other writers, illness, death, and much more. While not a biography, this small book illuminates our understanding of a great man of genius and the very nature of life.

Informazioni sull'autore:

Roger Martin du Gard was a substantial writer, best-known for a nine volume family saga: "Les Thibault" and the notes on Gide are taken from his journal. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1937
