A young artist pursues a search for knowledge through the treatment of homosexuality and the collapse of morality in middle class France.

Diaries and novels, such asThe Immoralist(1902) andLafcadio's Adventures(1914), of noted French writerAndré Gideexamine alienation and the drive for individuality in an often disapproving society; he won the Nobel Prize of 1947 for literature.André Paul Guillaume Gide authored books. From beginnings in the symbolist movement, career of Gide ranged to anticolonialism between the two World Wars.Known for his fiction as well as his autobiographical works, Gide exposes the conflict and eventual reconciliation to public view between the two sides of his personality; a straight-laced education and a narrow social moralism split apart these sides. One can see work of Gide as an investigation of freedom and empowerment in the face of moralistic and puritan constraints, and it gravitates around his continuous effort to achieve intellectual honesty. His self-exploratory texts reflect his search of full self, even to the point of owning sexual nature without betraying values at the same time. After his voyage of 1936 to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the same ethos informs his political activity, as his repudiation of Communism suggests.Chinese安德烈·纪德
