Published in 1914, this satirical fantasy features Arcade, a guardian angel converted to atheism. Stripped of his wings, he joins the other fallen angels who plot to overthrow God. Said The New York Times, ‘It is difficult to recall a bigger, wittier, or more entertaining satire within the past hundred years.’
关于作者
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.
