novel by Anatole France, first published in 1881. It was his first full-length novel and established his reputation as a leading French writer. The book won the prestigious Prix de l'Académie française. The novel follows Sylvester Bonnard, an elderly scholar and member of the Institute of France, who is dedicated to his work in philology and history. Bonnard is portrayed as a kind and gentle man whose scholarly pursuits lead him into unexpected adventures. The "crime" in the title refers to his decision to rescue a young girl, Jeanne Alexandre, from an abusive guardian, which puts him in conflict with the law. Through Bonnard's character, France explores themes of humanism, morality, and the pursuit of knowledge. The novel is marked by its warmth, humor, and philosophical reflections on the nature of goodness and the complexities of human relationships. France's portrayal of Bonnard as a compassionate and thoughtful individual highlights the tension between societal rules and personal ethics.

Autorenporträt
Anatole France (1844 - 1924) was a French poet, journalist and novelist. He was a successful novelist, with several best-sellers. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters. He was a member of the Académie française and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterized as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace and a true Gallic temperament". France is also widely believed to be the model for narrator Marcel's literary idol Bergotte in Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time.
