The Food of the World is a collection of essays by Gide. After Gide traveled to North Africa and Italy, he used his wanderings on the road as a clue and used a virtual goddess as the object of his confession to express his feelings about life. He wrote a series of poetic fragments that were combined with traditional short poems, odes, melody and other forms. Gide despised traditional morality and advocated freedom of individual behavior. He especially emphasized people's strong feelings about nature and life, and used this feeling as spiritual food.
Reader comments
This book is like a close friend, sharing insights about life with you. Gide's words are like agile elves, jumping between the pages, reminding me of Rousseau's "Walden". The pursuit of freedom and nature in the book also reminded me of my own travel experiences with my relatives and friends. We seek solace for the soul in nature. These experiences are not only the spice of life, but also precious spiritual food.
It looks good. If you like this kind of text, you can take it and read it anytime.
