Abstract

Born in Paris, André Gide, was however derived from two strains trans-planted, his mother’s family was from Normandy and his paternal family from Langued-oc. The differences in the two families, through which itself wanted to explain his tenure ambiguity and his vocation as an artist, however, were not so great; Gide was a child of the upper middle class and born of two Protestant lineage. this legacy played a fundamental role in his psychology. Therefore, it seems particularly interesting to go back as far as pos-sible in his childhood and reveal the genesis of the environment in which he was born, to better understand the motivations and mechanisms of his literary creation.
