This 1908 satire of human nature and culture—including a famous episode inspired by the Dreyfus affair—concerns an island of great auks whose avian inhabitants, mistakenly baptized by a nearsighted missionary, are transformed into human beings by God, who is eager to rectify the embarrassing error.

Om författaren
Anatole France (1844–1924), born Jacques Anatole Thibault, was a French poet, journalist, and novelist known for his elegant prose. As a supporter of Alfred Dreyfus, his writing became more political and focused on social concerns. In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature; in 1922, his works were put on the Prohibited Books Index of the Catholic Church. It is difficult to know which he considered the greater honor.
