André Gide
In 1914, she accompanied André Gide and Henri Ghéon to Turkey and in 1927, she travelled to the Gironde and the Limousin with Ernst Robert Curtius. In Colpach Castle, she arranged Franco-German encounters at which André Gide could rub meet Walter Rathenau and Ernst Robert Curtius. Aline Mayrisch also introduced André Gide to the texts of Rainer Maria Rilke, and in publishing an article on Rilke in the "Nouvelle Revue Française", she helped find a French public for the German writer. It was in this same review that she published articles on the intellectual situation in Germany after the First World War, as well as her autobiographical travel account "Paysages de la trentième année", which, starting in the island sceneries of Corsica and Iceland, evoked the confrontation with emptiness, absurdity and nothingness.
