«Teseu» is the mythological novel by André Gide published by Elkar in paperback (76 pages, in Basque).
Theseus, hero of Athens, recalls in the first person his life, from his exploits in the labyrinth and his encounter with the Minotaur to the founding of the city. Through the hero's account, Gide reflects on freedom, destiny and the search for oneself, without hiding his failures and personal losses.
It belongs to the Elkar Literature collection (no. 53), with a Basque translation by Ibon Sarasola Errazkin. The original title, Thésée, was published in 1946.
For readers interested in classical mythology and Basque literature, as well as in the work of André Gide.
André Paul Guillaume Gide was a French author whose writing spanned a wide variety of styles and topics. He was awarded the 1947 Nobel Prize in Literature. Gide's career ranged from his beginnings in the symbolist movement to criticising imperialism between the two World Wars. Author of more than 50 books, he was described in his New York Times obituary as "France's greatest contemporary man of letters" and "judged the greatest French writer of this century by the literary cognoscenti."
