About the Author

French criticAnatole France, pen name ofJacques Anatole François Thibaultwrote sophisticated, often satirical short stories and novels, includingPenguin Island(1908), and won the Nobel Prize of 1921 for literature.Anatole France began his career as a poet and a journalist. From 1867, he as a journalist composed articles and notices.In 1869,Le Parnasse ContemporainpublishedLa Part de Madeleineof his poems. In 1875, he sat on the committee in charge of the third such compilation. He movedPaul VerlaineandStéphane Mallarméaside.Skeptical old scholar Sylvester Bonnard, protagonist of famousLe Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard(1881), embodied own personality of the author. The academy praised its elegant prose.Anatole France inLa Rotisserie de la Reine Pedauque(1893) ridiculed belief in the occult and inLes Opinions de Jerome Coignard(1893) captured the atmosphere of thefin de siècle.People elected him to the Académie française in 1896.People falsely convictedAlfred Dreyfus, a Jewish army officer, of espionage. Anatole France took an important part in the affair, signed manifesto ofÉmile Zolato support Dreyfus, and authoredMonsieur Bergeretin 1901.After the nearsighted Abbot Mael baptized the animals in error, France in later work depicts the transformation into human nature in 1908.People considered most profoundLa Revolte des Anges(1914). It tells of Arcade, the guardian angel of Maurice d'Esparvieu. Arcade falls in love, joins the revolutionary movement of angels, and towards the end recognizes the meaningless overthrow of God unless "in ourselves and in ourselves alone we attack and destroy Ialdabaoth."People awarded him "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" in 1921.In 1922, the Catholic Church put entire works of France on theIndex Librorum Prohibitorum(Index of Prohibited Books).He died, and people buried his body in the Neuilly-sur-Seine community cemetery near Paris.
