André Gide (Parigi, 22 novembre 1869 – Parigi, 19 febbraio 1951) è stato uno scrittore francese, premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1947. Firma di Gide I temi centrali dell'opera e della vita di André Gide sono stati affermare la libertà, allontanarsi dai vincoli morali e puritani, ricercare l'onestà intellettuale che permette di essere pienamente sé stessi, accettando la propria omosessualità senza venir meno ai propri valori. Influenzato dagli scritti di autori come Henry Fielding, Goethe, Victor Hugo, Dostoevskij, Stéphane Mallarmé, Nietzsche, Joris-Karl Huysmans, Rabindranath Tagore, Roger Martin du Gard e l'amico Oscar Wilde, scrisse varie opere di stampo autobiografico e di narrativa ed espose spesso al pubblico il conflitto e, a volte, la riconciliazione tra le due parti della propria personalità, divise dalla rigida educazione e dalle meschine regole sociali ed etiche impostegli dalla società della sua epoca. Le sue opere, in particolare Corydon, Se il grano non muore e L'immoralista, hanno esercitato una grande influenza (soprattutto per i temi trattati) su vari scrittori successivi a Gide, in particolare su Rainer Maria Rilke, Jacques Rivière, André Malraux, Flann O'Brien, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Yukio Mishima, Roland Barthes.
