His literary output was prodigioushe had more than 100 titles to his credit. He wrote novels, poems, plays, essays, biographies, and contributed to newspapers and magazines. The official citation when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1952 said he was honored "for the penetrating psychology and artistic intensity with which he, in the form of the novel, has interpreted the drama of human life." Critics considered him an outstanding interpreter of human psychology. He once commented, "A novel is worthless if it doesn't contain a study of man, and has no reason for being if it doesn't add "to our knowledge of the human heart." He wrote principally about French provincial families split by hatred and desires for vengeance and ruled by greed for material gain.
