About the Author

Roger Martin du Gard was born on March 23, 1881 in France. He was a French author and winner of the 1937 Nobel Prize for Literature. He was trained as a paleographer and archivist. His major work was The Thibaults, a multi-volume work that follows the fortunes of the two brothers, Antoine and show more Jacques Thibault, from their upbringing in a prosperous Catholic bourgeois family to the end of the First World War. Martin du Gard wrote several other novels, including Jean Barois, which was set against the historical context of the Dreyfus Affair. During the Second World War, he resided in Nice, where he prepared a novel (Souvenirs du lieutenant-colonel de Maumort) that remained unfinished at his death; it was posthumously published in 1983. His other works include plays and a memoir of André Gide, a longtime friend. Roger Martin du Gard died in 1958 and was buried in the Cimiez Monastery Cemetery in Cimiez, France.

A tiny book—not 50 pages long. A sensitive story about incest. Well-written, well told, but not a great work of art.

اولین بار که اسم کتاب خانواده‌ی تیبو رو شنیدم وقتی بود که فهمیدم این یکی از کتاب‌هایی هست که نویسنده‌ش برای این کتاب جایزه برده نه دستاورد یک عمر زندگی هنری... کمی بعدش هم شنیدم بهترین ترجمه‌ی تاریخ ایران رو ابوالحسن نجفی روی این کتاب انجام داده و بالاخره مشتاقانه شروع به خوندنش کردم و واقعاً رمان خوبی بود.

قبل از هر چیزی ردپای جنگ و صلح تولستوی رو به راحتی تو کتاب پیدا می‌کنید. روابط و برهه‌ی تاریخی کاملاً مشابه جنگ و صلحه و فقط جای جنگ ناپلئون و روسیه جنگ جهانی اول نشسته!‌دو جلد اول مثل جنگ و صلح به روابط شخصیت‌ها و جا انداختن ویژگی‌هاشون می‌پردازه و تو دو جلد دوم اون‌ها رو وارد شرایط جنگ می‌کنه و رفتارهاشون رو بررسی می‌کنه! انقدر این روابط در عین سادگی قشنگه که نمی‌تونید یه لحظه هم ازش دل بکنید!

یه چیز جالب درباره‌ی این کتاب وجود داره... اون هم اینه که با اینکه این همه فیلم از کتاب‌های دنیا ساخته می‌شه از این کتاب حتی یک فیلم کوتاه هم اقتباس نشده... و معمولاً تو عامه‌ی مردم حتی خارج از ایران هم کتاب معروفی نیست... اون هم یه کتابی که به شدت جنگ گذشته رو نکوهش می‌کنه و در سال‌هایی چاپ شده که به جنگ جهانی دوم منتهی می‌شه و همون روند پوچ جنگیدن و کشته شدنی که رمان ذکر کرده باز هم تو دنیا اتفاق می‌افته.

724. Summer 1914, by Roger Martin du Gard translated by Stuart Gilbert (read 16 Feb 1963) For months after I read this book its account recurred in my mind. It is as good an account of the frenzied days on 1914 in France as I have ever read.

723. The Thibaults, by Roger Martin Du Gard translated by Stuart Gilbert (read 7 Feb 1963) (Book of the Year) I found this book and its sequel Summer 1914 utterly absorbing and memorable. On Dec 5, 1964, almost two years after reading this book and its sequel, Summer 1914, I said: Martin du Gard's story has grown in my mind since I read it. I often think of different parts of it, maybe because it was so long. But it was vividly written , and shocking in some ways.
