  André Gide was a French writer, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947, recognized as one of the most influential figures in 20th-century literature. Born in Paris, Gide explored themes such as individual freedom, morality, and social hypocrisy. Throughout his career, his writings challenged social and religious conventions, earning him both admirers and critics. His works, often autobiographical, offer profound reflections on the struggle between personal desire and the norms imposed by society. Gide's work boldly delves into the exploration of human beings in search of authenticity. Among his most notable works is The Counterfeiters (1925), a novel that questions traditional literary conventions, presenting a complex narrative structure and characters who strive for authenticity in a world full of deception. The Immoralist (1902) is another of his influential works, in which he tells the story of Michel, a man who, after overcoming an illness, decides to live according to his deepest desires, disregarding social norms. Gide was also a staunch advocate of individual freedom and a critic of social and religious hypocrisy. In his work If It Die (1920), an autobiography, he reflects his rejection of bourgeois values and his quest for a more authentic life. Throughout his career, Gide remained firm in his belief that individuals must be true to themselves, even if it means challenging established norms.
