Produktbeschreibung

This 1912 novel ranks among Anatole France's last important works. It is a sweeping, historical novel that takes place in the final stages of the French Revolution, and poignantly illustrates the dangers of fanaticism. Written with France's characteristic insight and style, this is a thoughtful and provoking novel.

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". Anatole France was also documented to have a brain volume just two-thirds the normal size.
