Life
Jean-Marie Gustave le Clézio was born in Nice, France, but grew up on Mauritius, where his relatives had worked as bankers for generations. His father, a doctor, was of British heritage, and his family was bilingual. Le Clézio lived among indigenous peoples in Panama for several years during the 1970s; an experience that fundamentally changed his view of life, art, and people. He has also worked at several universities in different parts of the world. He and his wife, Jemia, divide their time between Nice, Mauritius, and Albuquerque, USA.

Work
Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio's literary career highlights different cultures in different times and challenges Western civilization's dominance. He questions modern society's materialistic superficiality, which chokes what is genuine in people's relationships with others, with nature, and with the past. Le Clézio, who writes in prose, has published over 40 works since his 1963 début. His major breakthrough came with Desert in 1980. With its flowing prose, Desert stands in contrast to his earlier works' more experimental style.

生平
让-马里-古斯塔夫-勒克莱齐奥出生于法国尼斯，但在毛里求斯长大，他的亲戚在那里世代都是银行家。他的父亲是一名医生，有英国血统，他的家庭是双语的。1970年代，勒克莱齐奥在巴拿马的原住民中生活了几年；这一经历从根本上改变了他对生活、艺术和人的看法。他还曾在世界不同地区的几所大学工作。他和他的妻子Jemia在毛里求斯的尼斯和美国的阿尔布开克之间分配时间。

工作
让-马里-古斯塔夫-勒克莱齐奥的文学生涯突出了不同时代的不同文化，并挑战西方文明的主导地位。他质疑现代社会的物质主义肤浅性，这种肤浅性扼杀了人们与他人、与自然以及与过去的关系中真正的东西。勒克莱齐奥以散文形式写作，自1963年首次发表作品以来，已经出版了40多部作品。他在1980年的《沙漠》中取得了重大突破。沙漠》以其流畅的散文，与他早期作品的实验性风格形成对比。
