André Gide / Tavy Notton - Les nouvelles nourritures - 1958

Fascinating off-market edition on pure rag Arches vellum reserved for the artist and enriched with 25 original engravings by Tavy Notton -

Written after several decades of intellectual life, travels, encounters, and self-questioning, this work partly abandons the exalted enthusiasm of youth to adopt a more measured tone, without relinquishing the demand to live life fully -

Gide invites the reader to never trap oneself in habits, dogmas, social conventions, or definitive certainties, but to remain constantly open to discoveries, self-transformations, and the manifold riches of existence -

Through a succession of fragments, reflections, addresses to the reader, personal memories, philosophical considerations, and poetic meditations, he celebrates intellectual curiosity, open-mindedness, the joy of travel, the contemplation of nature, friendship, love, artistic creation, and the incessant quest for inner truth -
