About the Author

Roger Martin du Gard (1881–1958) was a French novelist trained as a paleographer and archivist, renowned for his scrupulously realistic fiction in the realist and naturalist traditions depicting human conflict and bourgeois life. He is best known for his multi-volume novel cycle The Thibaults (Les Thibault), chronicling two brothers from a prosperous Catholic family through World War I, which earned him the 1937 Nobel Prize in Literature.
