纪德日记

by André Gide, 安德烈·纪德, 李玉民 (Translator)

安德烈·纪德（1869—1951）是法国二十世纪最重要的作家之一，也是法国乃至整个现代西方文学史、思想史上最重要的人物之一，因其“内容广博和艺术意味深长的作品——这些作品以对真理的大无畏的热爱，以锐敏的心理洞察力表现了人类的问题与处境”而荣获一九四七年度诺贝尔文学奖。

纪德的日记从一八八七年他十四岁写起，直到一九五○年他逝世前为止，在二十世纪所有的作家艺术家当中都堪称绝无仅有。从他的日记中可以清楚地看出他道德观的形成、他的海量的阅读，他的著作的起源和经历，他的同性恋癖好甚至他数次猎艳的详细经过，这些内容都是他最少雕饰的“自传”，使他成为一位真正的艺术家和思想家，成为另一位蒙田。

少女时代的桑塔格在某一天的凌晨看完纪德的日记后，这样写道：“我本该看得慢点的，而且我得一遍又一遍地看——我和纪德获得了极其完美的智性交流，对他产生的每个想法，我都体验到那种相应的产前阵痛！因此，我想的不是：“多么不可思议地清晰易懂啊！”——而是：“停下！我无法这么快地思考！或者确切地说，我长起来没有这么快！”“因为，我不只是在看这本书，我自己还在创造它，这种独特而巨大的体验清空了这可怕的几个月来充斥在我脑子里的许许多多的混乱与贫乏——”她从纪德身上找到了真正的志同道合，从此致力于反抗庸俗与愚蠢的艺术崇拜。

About the author

Diaries and novels, such as The Immoralist (1902) and Lafcadio's Adventures (1914), of noted French writer André Gide examine alienation and the drive for individuality in an often disapproving society; he won the Nobel Prize of 1947 for literature.

André Paul Guillaume Gide authored books. From beginnings in the symbolist movement, career of Gide ranged to anticolonialism between the two World Wars.

Known for his fiction as well as his autobiographical works, Gide exposes the conflict and eventual reconciliation to public view between the two sides of his personality; a straight-laced education and a narrow social moralism split apart these sides. One can see work of Gide as an investigation of freedom and empowerment in the face of moralistic and puritan constraints, and it gravitates around his continuous effort to achieve intellectual honesty. His self-exploratory texts reflect his search of full self, even to the point of owning sexual nature without betraying values at the same time. After his voyage of 1936 to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the same ethos informs his political activity, as his repudiation of Communism suggests.

《纪德日记》（法）纪德。

我们梦想吧，好吗，这样更值当。

与阅读、写作、旅行、音乐相伴的一生。

感谢译者，译注非常详细，辛苦了。这本是1887——1909，从纪德18岁到40岁的日记，应该还有从1909到1949，即纪德40岁到80岁的日记的。
