André Maurois (1885-1967) est l'un des écrivains les plus importants et les plus connus de la littérature française. Par des romans fins et délicats, il s'est imposé, marquant de son style tout le monde des lettres. C'est par "Les silences du colonel Bramble" qu'André Maurois devient célèbre. Pour écrire ce premier roman, Maurois s'est inspiré de sa propre expérience d'officier de liaison auprès de l'armée britannique. Créant des figures atypiques et extraordinaires de soldats anglais flegmatiques, sages, philosophes, il rend compte d'une joie de vivre toute anglo-saxonne, et ce malgré la guerre, qui est tout de même le sujet réel et la toile de fond du roman.

Il reçoit en 1925 le grand Prix du roman pour "Désert de l'amour". Président de la Société des Gens de Lettres en 1932, il est appelé à l'Académie française en 1933.

La "Bibbia", il Libro per eccellenza, ha impregnato di sé la storia dell'Occidente. Lo ha fatto in modo diretto nella sua duplice, forte tensione interna ebraico-cristiana e, in modo indiretto, attraverso gli influssi che ha esercitato sull'islam e sulla stessa cultura laica. Per ragioni storiche in Italia la "Bibbia" non è però entrata a far parte del sapere comune: una lacuna di cui in anni recenti si è avvertita più intensamente la gravità.
