Alan Furst's >The Foreign Correspondent< is mainly about the life of Italian intellectuals who had fled Mussolini's fascist government and found uncertain refuge in Paris. Their life is that of >diaspora< since as the etymological meaning of >diaspora< suggests, they had to leave their home country and to lead very precarious lives in a foreign country. Their life is dangerous as well as uncertain because they resisted fascism by publishing clandestine press that smuggled news and resistance messages from Paris back to Italy. Their lives can be traced as the pursuit of freedom. According to Eric Fromm, the freedom can be viewed as >the passive freedom< and >the active freedom<. This paper follows how Carlo Weisz, the main character of this novel, whose job is a foreign correspondent, becomes to achieve the active freedom from the life of passive freedom. As a conclusion, this paper will discuss how Weisz achieves his identity through liberty and love.
