André Paul Guillaume Gide (1869-1951) was a French author and winner of the 1947 Nobel Prize in Literature. Described as "France's greatest contemporary man of letters," Gide was known for his fiction and autobiographical works. He published over fifty books, including 'Les Nourritures terrestres' (1897) ('Fruits of the Earth'), 'Les Caves du Vatican' (1914) ('Lafcadio's Adventures'), 'La Porte étroite' (1909) ('Strait is the Gate'), 'La Symphonie pastorale' (1919), and the experimental 'Les Faux Monnayeurs' (1926) ('The Counterfeiters'). However, the Frenchman claimed 'Corydon' (1911), was his most important work. In it, he used evidence from naturalists, historians, poets, and philosophers to back up his belief that homosexuality was not 'unnatural', arguing it was more natural than exclusive heterosexuality, which he believed to be a union created by society.
