Amazon.ca: Thais: Books: Anatole France,Robert B. Douglas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Anatole France's searing tale of a monk and the beautiful courtesan who tempts him from the path of righteousness. Thais, by Anatole France (born Jacques Anatole Thibault) written in the latter years of the 19th century, is indicative of the wry, powerful voice of a passionate author. Anatole France's prose is engaging, his literary style easily accessable 113 years after the initial publication, and his story-telling capabilities easily rank with more contemporary authors. www.amazon.ca /Thais-Anatole-France/dp/1587158558   (668 words)

The Red Lily by Anatole France: Preface Anatole France belongs to the class of poets known as "Les Parnassiens." Yet a book like 'Les Noces Corinthiennes' ought to be classified among a group of earlier lyrics, inasmuch as it shows to a large degree the influence of Andre Chenier and Alfred de Vigny. France's critical writings are collected in four volumes, under the title, 'La Vie Litteraire' (1888-1892); his political articles in 'Opinions Sociales' (2 vols., 1902). France confines himself to themes of the keenest personal interest, the life of the world we live in. www.online-literature.com /anatole-france/red-lily/1   (881 words)

Amazon.com: Thais: Books: Anatole France   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Anatole France is best known as a satirist, including such pointed goofiness as his "Penguin Island." This story lacks the overt humor of PI, but lacks none of its thrust. France may not propose any clear code of upright behavior, but he's energetic in tweaking the bluenoses who claim to have all the answers. This is particularly the case where about two thirds of the way through, France afflicts the reader with 15 or so pages of tedious rambling philosophical discourses from the mouths of the politicians and generals at the drunken party to which Phaphnutius accompanies Thais. www.amazon.com /Thais-Anatole-France/dp/1587158558   (2259 words)

Anatole France - Philosopedia Anatole France’s Penguin Island (1908) has a nearsighted priest baptizing a large group, regretfully finding they are penguins - the trouble his act causes to the alarmed authorities in an animal-less Heaven makes this allegorical and satirical novel diabolically provocative. Philosophically, according to William F. Ryan, he stood somewhere between Epicurean thinking and contemporary existentialism “and was, in fact, among the first to pronounce the human condition and the state of the universe absurd.” In contrast to St. John Chrysostom, who said, “Virginity stands as far above marriage as the heavens above the earth.” France held that of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest. philosopedia.org /index.php?title=Anatole_France   (241 words)

Anatole France - France and the Surrealists, and other stories On this day in 1924 Anatole France died. France's real name was Jacques Anatole Francois Thibault; he took his pseudonym from his father's Parisian bookstore, "Librairie de France," rather than from any premonition of becoming the personification of French literature for his generation. He wrote in every genre, and his collected works run to twenty-five volumes, but he is best remembered for his erudition, ironic wit and elegance rather than for any one book. www.todayinliterature.com /today.asp?Search_Date=10/12/2006   (134 words)
