Andre Morois is a famous French writer, a member of the French Academy, a classic of French literature of the 20th century. His creative heritage is vast and multifaceted - psychological novels, short stories, travel essays, historical and literary works, etc. He is also a recognized master of novelized biographies of Dumas, Balzac, Victor Victor Galsa, and others. But above all, Morua is a recognized master of novelized biographies of Dumas, Balzac, Victor Hugo and others. Therefore, the writer's turn to the genre of literary portrait - a kind of mini-biography, a small essay dedicated to one or another colleague was not accidental. By combining the essays into cycles, Morua built his history of the development of literature. In this book, Morois pays much attention to his contemporaries - French writers Andre Gide, Romain Rolland, Jean Cocteau, Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, Louis Aragon and others. But there are sections devoted to outstanding authors of other countries and epochs - Herodotus, Shakespeare, L. Tolstoy, etc., as well. Incredible erudition, accuracy of observations, mastery of presentation allow Morua to perfectly convey the psychological and creative portraits of his heroes. This edition consists of two author's collections - "From Gide to Sartre" and "From Aragon to Monterlan". Most of the texts are printed in Russian for the first time.
