Story14
French literature may be said to begin with the ninth century "Song of Roland," and it has since then churned out masterpiece after masterpiece in every century right up to the present. Beginning with Balzac and Dumas in the early part of the nineteenth century and proceeding to Sartre and Camus at the midpoint of the twentieth, the stories in this collection showcase the talents of some of the greatest French masters of the short story.

Story4
Anatole France (1844-1924) was a French poet, journalist, and novelist who wrote several best sellers. The Revolt of the Angels is a mischievous take on the theology of modern society; it chronicles the thoughts of Arcade, a lowly guardian angel, as he discovers the ugly truths of his divine master in the library of his human charge As Maurice, the young man abandoned by Arcade, struggles to get his guardian back, one gets a view of a wide variety of the author’s artistic personalities, most of whom are fallen angels.

In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. Love is good. It’s positive, a source of joy, nourishment and all over goodness. But sometimes other more malevolent forces come to play. They infect that love, they see their form as better. Instinctively we would shy away but sometimes its pull is too powerful, almost attractive. We are drawn closer into the shadows.

Story3
Nous sommes en 1793, Évariste Gamelin, un jeune peintre parisien, sensible à l'injustice et généreux, devient juré au tribunal révolutionnaire, et va franchir peu à peu, sous le prétexte de protéger la révolution de divers complots, la frontière qui sépare le juste de l'ignoble, le bon de l'exécrable, le légitime du totalitaire.Son amour pour Élodie, la fille de son marchand d'estampes, accentue l'aspect paradoxal de la montée d'une cruauté inspirée par des idées politiques a priori généreuses.

Anatole France (1844 – 1924), è stato uno scrittore francese, Premio Nobel per la letteratura nell'anno 1921. Nel 1896 iniziò a scrivere la Tetralogia della storia contemporanea, composto di quattro romanzi, di cui questo è il primo.

Story0
Penguin Island is Anatole France’s most searching and satirical novel. A humorous critique of customs and laws, rituals and rites, its subject is human nature, but its characters are penguins in the mythical land of Penguinia. The story of the strutting penguins and their virtues and vices is not merely a burlesque allegory of French history, but a satire of the history of mankind.

Rendőrkutyaként kiszimatolják a bűnt, és szemévé lesznek azoknak, akik nem látnak. Őrzik tulajdonunkat, százféle módon vigyáznak ránk. Ezek a történetek ékesen bizonyítják, milyen hihetetlenül sokoldalú és elbűvölő állatok.

Whilst faith can be practiced anywhere religious faith is usually at a church or temple. The stories in this volume are centered both in houses of worship and with those with a strong association to its calling. Of course, short story authors have a determined belief in their undoubted talents to make us look at this subject from different angles. In this volume they take us on literary journeys that are revealing and challenging yet always entertaining.

In The Gods Are Athirst, a captivating novel by Anatole France, we delve into the turbulent world of the French Revolution through the eyes of Évariste Gamelin, a young Parisian painter whose rise from obscurity to a prominent member of the Revolutionary Tribunal is both swift and chilling. Frances masterful prose paints a vivid picture of how idealism can spiral into fanaticism, leading Évariste to orchestrate a reign of terror that endangers not only his own life but also the lives of his loved ones. This gripping tale serves as a powerful exploration of ambition, morality, and the human ...

Story1
First published in 1908, and widely regraded as his masterpiece, Penguin Island is Anatole France's most searching and satirical novel. A humorous critique of customs and laws, rituals and rites, its subject is human nature, but its characters are penguins in the mythical land of Penguinia. The story of the strutting penguins and their virtues and vices is not merely a burlesque allegory of French history, it is a satire of the history of mankind. With gentle yet biting irony, France challenges the Spencerian belief in the ultimate perfectibility of man, though his irony reveals his sympathy for man's weaknesses and his need for social institutions.

Story0
In The Mass of Shadows, Anatole France weaves a solemn and haunting tale of love, memory, and the fragile boundary between life and death. Through the voice of a sacristan recalling his father’s stories, we enter a world where the dead return not in terror, but in reverence—souls bound by affection, regret, and unfinished devotion. Once a year, they are granted a single hour to reunite with those they loved, gathering silently in their parish church to attend a Mass said not for the living, but for memory itself.

Die Schriften der französischen Prosa-Ikone Anatole France wurden zu Beginn des letzten Jahrhunderts vom Vatikan auf den Index verbotener Bücher gesetzt. Ob bei den offiziellen europäischen Gottes-Profis inzwischen ein Umdenken stattgefunden hat, ist zu bezweifeln. Jedenfalls zeugen die Erzählungen des Anatole France von einem großartigen Verständnis der praktischen Welt und einem sehr gutem Verständnis der menschlichen Natur – wahrscheinlich deswegen für den Vatikan unverständlich.

„Der Christ des Ozeans" berichtet von einem hölzernen Kruzifix inklusive Jesusportrait, das an die Küste eines französischen Dorfes angeschwemmt wird – sendet Gott ein aktuelles Zeichen? Die Kirche weiß Rat und nutzt die Gunst der Stunde, um ein kostspieliges, nagelneues, mit Diamanten verziertes Kreuzsymbol auf dem Rücken der Bevölkerung zu finanzieren. In „Ein Traum" beschreibt der Ich-Erzähler ein groteskes Szenario, dessen Deutung am Ende einem vertrauten Zuhörer überlassen wird.
