【Content Introduction】
“Our movements follow us as phosphorescence follows phosphorus;
Yes, they wear us down, but they also constitute our glory.”
At the age of 28, Gide traveled to North Africa, Italy, Spain and southern France, and wrote "The Bread of the Earth" in this brand new world.
He enthusiastically expressed the energy of life, wanted to get rid of the affectation of the literary world, and declared that he wanted literature to "walk barefoot on the ground."
At the age of 66, Gide responded to his early works with his life's thoughts. After half a lifetime, he once again talked about love, loneliness, freedom, and desire.
It was condensed into a series of beautiful meditative maxims, named "New Grain".

【Editor's Recommendation】
📃 "A wide door opened elsewhere": a landmark classic that has inspired countless young people. This representative work of Gide's prose poetry was unknown when it was first published, and only 500 copies were sold in ten years.
However, in the following fifty years, it gradually became a canonical guide to life for generations.
The eighteen-year-old "rule girl" Beauvoir gleefully copied passages from this book, initiating a rebellion against patriarchal laws;
The sixteen-year-old Camus, in Algiers, suddenly grasped the book’s subtlety and discovered the “invincible summer” within himself;
As a teenager, Cheng Baoyi, while fleeing during the Anti-Japanese War, gained strength to pursue his ideals from Gide's teachings...
"The Narrow Gate" is a portrait of imprisoned people, while "New Grain from the Earth" abandons all constraints and praises desires.
📃André Gide: Nobel Prize winner in Literature, a great rebel in 20th-century literature. Gide often presents the inner struggles of individuals facing family and religion in his novels.
It describes the fate of a vibrant life heading towards withering under the constraints of traditional morality.
However, in the difficult-to-define work "Land Grain·New Grain",
He opens up about himself, reveals his most intimate desires, and displays shocking honesty.
As a result, he was denounced as a heretic by tradition and listed as the author of banned books by the church, but he was unanimously praised by young people who pursued human freedom.
In 1947, Gide was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for:
"Exposing human problems and conditions with sincerity, fearless love and keen psychological insight."
📃 "This is a book that burns when you read it": The gentle yet fiery confessional prose poem "The Bread of the Earth" is André Gide's account of his youthful journey, with alternating dialogues between Menack, me, and Nathanael.
Record your random thoughts during the journey, the indulgence of all-night feasts, unexpected encounters, and the wild fun of the countryside...
New Grain is a sequel he wrote in his later years. Different from his youth when he embraced the world,
This is an in-depth exploration of the spiritual world after years of sedimentation - using the self as a mirror to reflect all living beings.
📃 Veteran translator Tang Zulun's translation captures the flavor of the poem and conveys Gide's words and spirit. "Earth's Grain: New Grain" is the first translation published by translator Tang Zulun since he was forced to drop out of school in 1958.
First published in 1986, it has been reprinted many times since then, and remains timeless.
To preserve the rhythmic beauty of Gide's prose poems, he carefully considered the words and sentences, and pondered the poetic meaning;
The translator himself also wrote a long introduction to help readers better understand this masterpiece.
📃The Fruit of Life × cloth hardcover × gilded on three sides, bound by the famous designer Xihe, a rare paperback masterpiece!
"The image of life is to me a delicious fruit placed on the lips of desire."
Pomegranates flying in the sky - symbolize the passionate ambition that never lands;
Finely embossed cloth, elegant patterned lining, gilded edges on three sides, and non-yellowing offset paper.
Special binding, paperback pricing, easy to read and portable, the best choice for collection.
