Corydon by Andre Gide

"Corydon" is a series of dialogues that delve into the nature of homosexuality and its place in society. The work, structured as a classical philosophical discourse, presents a series of arguments that challenge the prevailing attitudes of the early 20th century, advocating for a more enlightened view of homosexuality. Through the conversations between the eponymous protagonist and his interlocutors, the text explores various aspects of love, art, and biology, ultimately making a case for the naturalness and moral neutrality of same-sex attraction, and calling for a greater acceptance of what was then considered a taboo subject.
