Descriere
This is the tale of the enchanted island where the nearsighted Abbot Mael baptized penguins in error. These penguins--possessed of Divine Grace by dint of baptism--are remarkably like and unlike men as they rule the fictional land of Penguinia.
Notă biografică
Anatole France (1844 - 1924) was a French poet, journalist and novelist. He was a successful novelist, with several best-sellers. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters. He was a member of the Académie française and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature "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". France is also widely believed to be the model for narrator Marcel's literary idol Bergotte in Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time.
