Description
The book delves into the generation of 1880, exploring how the youth of that era, faced with defeat and scientific determinism, lost faith and motivation, leading to deep pessimism. It analyzes the impact of unfulfilled ideals on creating a sense of futility, disenchantment, and sadness. Through the novels 'Le Voyage d'Urien' and 'Paludes' by Gide, metaphysical and existential themes are explored, reflecting the author's complex thoughts on action, reflection, freedom, and determinism. The narrative also touches on love, sacrifice, and the struggle between heart's desires and moral obligations.
