Produktbeschreibung

Frenchmen, united in friendship, who were spending the spring in Rome, were wont to meet amid the ruins of the disinterred Forum. They were Joséphin Leclerc, an Embassy Attaché on leave; M. Goubin, licencié ès lettres, an annotator; Nicole Langelier, of the old Parisian family of the Langeliers, printers and classical scholars; Jean Boilly, a civil engineer, and Hippolyte Dufresne, a man of leisure, and a lover of the fine arts. Towards five o'clock of the afternoon of the first day of May, they wended their way, as was their custom, through the northern door, closed to the public, where Commendatore Boni, who superintended the excavations, welcomed them with quiet amenity, and led them to the threshold of his house of wood nestling in the shadow of laurel bushes, privet hedges and cytisus, and rising above the vasttrench, dug down to the depth of the ancient Forum, in the cattle market of pontifical Rome.

Autorenporträt

Anatole France, born François-Anatole Thibault on April 16, 1844, in Paris, France, was a renowned French poet, journalist, and novelist. Widely recognized for his ironic and skeptical approach to literature, France became one of the most celebrated intellectual figures of his time. He was often regarded as the ideal French man of letters, known for his sharp wit and insightful critiques of society and culture. France's education took place at Collège Stanislas in Paris, which laid the foundation for his literary career. Over the years, he authored several best-selling works that gained both popularity and critical acclaim. His literary contributions spanned various genres, with notable works that engaged deeply with historical and philosophical themes. France married twice, first to Valerie Guérin de Sauville (1877-1893) and later to Emma Laprévotte (1920-1924). He had two daughters, Suzanne Thibault and Suzanne France. Anatole France passed away on October 12, 1924, at the age of 80, leaving behind a lasting legacy in French literature. His works continue to influence generations of readers and writers.
