纪德游记

by André Gide, 安德烈·纪德, 由权 (Translator)

纪德是个真正做到了“读万卷书，行万里路”的作家，《刚果之行》和《乍得归来》是其游记的代表作品，纪德在这两部游记中严厉地批评了法国的殖民政策，揭示出殖民制度不可避免的恶果；同样引起轩然大波的还有《访苏归来》及其“补正”，面对当时西方左派知识分子奉为理想的苏联，纪德不盲从、不盲信，坚持真理和人道主义精神，表达了对苏联现实的失望。纪德的游记创作既有个人情怀的抒写，又富有饱满的政治热情和诚笃的人道主义精神，在其整个创作生涯中占据了一个非常重要的位置。《纪德游记》除上述代表作之外，还收入《放弃旅行》、《漫游土耳其》和《布列塔尼游记》三部作品，纪德一生的游记作品精华尽收其中。

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.
