Roger Martin du Gard (1881 – 1958) was a French novelist, winner of the 1937 Nobel Prize in Literature. Trained as a paleographer and archivist, he brought to his works a spirit of objectivity and a scrupulous regard for detail, and because of his concern with documentation and the relationship of social reality to individual development, his fiction has been linked with the realist and naturalist traditions of the 19th century. Vieille France was first published by Gallimard in 1933 and was translated into English as The Postman. Condition: Near fine
