About the author

Roger Martin du Gard

Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1937 "for the artistic power and truth with which he has depicted human conflict as well as some fundamental aspects of contemporary life in his novel cycle Les Thibault."

Roger Martin du Gard (23 March 1881 - 22 August 1958) was a French author and winner of the 1937 Nobel Prize for Literature. Trained as a paleographer and archivist, Martin du Gard brought to his works a spirit of objectivity and a scrupulous regard for details. For his concern with documentation and with the relationship of social reality to individual development, he has been linked with the realist and naturalist traditions of the 19th century. His major work was Les Thibault, a roman fleuve about the Thibault family, originally published as a series of eight novels. The story follows the fortunes of the two Thibault brothers, Antoine and Jacques, from their prosperous bourgeois upbringing, through the First World War, to their deaths. He also wrote a novel, Jean Barois, set in the historical context of the Dreyfus Affair.

During the Second World war he resided in Nice, where he prepared a novel, which remained unfinished (Souvenirs du lieutenant-colonel de Maumort); an English-language translation of this unfinished novel was published in 2000.

Roger Martin du Gard died in 1958 and was buried in the Cimiez Monastery Cemetery in Cimiez, a suburb of the city of Nice, France.

Ce roman, se déroulant du début du XXe siècle jusqu’à la fin de la Grande Guerre, raconte l’histoire de deux familles de la bourgeoisie française.

I made the proofing (P1) of this book for Distributed Proofreaders Canada and it will be published by Faded Page.

پیش از خواندن "خانواده ی تیبو" نمی دانستم این رمان جزو پنج رمان بزرگ نیمه ی اول قرن بیستم است، و بسی بسیار، بالاتر از "ژان کریستف" و "جان شیفته" و... دوگار برخلاف رومن رولان یک نویسنده چپ فرانسوی نیست اما شرح احوال یک خانواده ی بورژوای فرانسوی، پیش از، در دوران، و پس از جنگ جهانی اول چنان که دوگار وصف کرده، نشان نبوغی ست دو چندان رومن رولان. اگرچه نیمی از هشت کتاب "خانواده ی تیبو" به جذابیت نیمه ی دیگر نیست، اما در مجموع، شرح زندگی و احوالات "آنتوان" و "ژاک" تیبو، پدرشان و بقیه ی شخصیت ها، رمانی چنان محکم و زیبا را بوجود آورده که تنها با نثر و زبان ابوالحسن نجفی می توانست به این زیبایی به فارسی درآید. خانواده ی تیبو در عین حال نوعی تاریخ اجتماعی فرانسه و بعضن سوئیس و اروپا در حول و حوش جنگ جهانی اول است. شناخت مارتین دوگار و "خانواده ی تیبو" را مدیون ابوالحسن نجفی هستم که انتخاب او را همیشه می توان چشم بسته پذیرفت؛ چه از نگاه محتوای کتاب و چه از لحاظ زبان ترجمه.

Les Thibault es una novela fundamental para entender el principio del siglo XX europeo y sus antecedentes. Desde los ojos de los personajes, principales pertenecientes a una acomodada burguesía parisina, es posible sensibilisarse respecto a los prolegómenos de la Primera Guerras. En sus últimos tomos, se cosecha la empatir que el autor sembró por los personajes y se viven los absurdos de las inagotables guerras humanas.

si tu veux lire un roman de la guerre et connaitre les consequence de la guerre, je te recommande ce roman. je crois que la guerre est une nécessité de la vie humaine, ce qu'on haît et mais l'histoire humaine est plein de guerres. la civilisation est crééé sur elle.
