Description
Lafcadio's Adventures is a novel by French author Andr����� Gide, first published in 1910. The story follows the titular character, Lafcadio, a young man who is half-French and half-Greek, as he sets out on a journey of self-discovery. Lafcadio is a restless soul who is constantly searching for meaning and purpose in his life. He travels to various places, including Paris and North Africa, and meets a variety of people who shape his worldview. Along the way, Lafcadio experiences love, loss, and betrayal, and he struggles to find his place in the world. The novel is written in a stream-of-consciousness style and explores themes of identity, sexuality, and the search for meaning in life. Gide's writing is known for its introspective and philosophical nature, and Lafcadio's Adventures is no exception. The book is a classic of French literature and is considered one of Gide's most important works.1925. French writer, humanist, and moralist who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1947. Gide's search for self, the underlying theme of his several works, remained essentially religious. Throughout his career Gide used his writings to examine moral questions. He is as well known for his influence as a moralist and a thinker as for his contributions to literature. Lafcadio Wluiki is one of the original creations in modern fiction. Gide's preoccupation with the gratuitous action, the unmotivated crime-it has a place in more than one of his books-here receives its most extended treatment, and Lafcadio is the instrument. With characteristic irony, Gide leads the police to a solution wherein the wrong man is apprehended and punished for the crime, while the charmingly perverse Lafcadio goes free. The action passes with cinematographic speed, chiefly in the capitals of Europe. The actors, other than Lafcadio, are noblemen, saints, adventurers and pickpockets.
