 Nobel Prize in Literature 1947 - Presentation Speech
From the beginning of his career he put himself in the first rank of the sowers of spiritual anxiety, but this does not keep him today from being counted almost everywhere among the first literary names of France, or from enjoying an influence that has persisted unabatedly through several generations.
A very important period in the spiritual history of Europe is outlined in his work, constituting a kind of dramatic foundation to his long life.
This is why his work gives the appearance of an uninterrupted dialogue in which faith constantly struggles against doubt, asceticism against the love of life, discipline against the need for freedom.

Indian literature has been burdened with such problems of "translation" ever since Thomas Babington Macaulay's notorious remark in 1835: "I have conversed both here and at home with men distinguished by their proficiency in the Eastern tongues.
Their task has been complicated by one of the perverse consequences of colonialism: While English-reading (and certainly English-writing) Indians acquire—perforce—a relatively high degree of familiarity with the cultural idiom of Western literature, Western readers have by and large retained a privileged ignorance of the East.
