The story revolves around the life of a young man named Lafcadio, who is born to a French mother and a Greek father. Lafcadio is raised in a strict Catholic household, but he rebels against his upbringing and seeks out new experiences and adventures.Throughout the book, Lafcadio travels to different parts of the world, including Africa and the Middle East, where he encounters various people and cultures. He also has a number of romantic relationships with both men and women, leading him to question his own sexuality.As Lafcadio's journey progresses, he begins to question his own identity and the values that he was raised with. He struggles with feelings of guilt and shame, but ultimately finds a sense of acceptance and peace.Lafcadio's Adventures is a thought-provoking and introspective novel that explores themes of identity, sexuality, and cultural differences. The large print edition makes it accessible to readers with visual impairments.(LARGE PRINT EDITION) 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.
