À propos de l'auteur
Anatole France, born François-Anatole Thibault on April 16, 1844, in Paris, France, was a prominent literary figure of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, celebrated for his ironic and well-crafted prose. A Nobel laureate in Literature (1921), his body of work reflects a deep humanism, infused with skepticism about human nature and a penchant for satirical critique of French society. France's early career was marked by his work as a librarian for the French Senate, which provided him ample time to indulge in his literary pursuits. His breakthrough came with 'The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard' (1881), a novel that blends a warm-hearted narrative with gentle irony, capturing the idiosyncrasies of its scholarly protagonist. His elegance in style and keen observation of character and culture have cemented him as a master of classical French prose. France's literary style often satirized the bourgeois class and the clergy, which can be seen in works such as 'Thaïs' (1890) and 'Penguin Island' (1908). Critically acclaimed for a prolific output that includes novels, plays, and poems, France remains a defining figure in French literature, with insights into human nature that remain relevant in contemporary discourse.
