Story
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.

Story
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.

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.

Nous vous proposons ici, avec Kim Vinter, de faire connaissance avec "Putois", jardinier irréel né d'un mensonge, mais dont l'influence sur les habitants d'une petite ville est, elle, bien réelle. Ou bien avec ce "Petit soldat de plomb" qui s'anime dans une vitrine et qui raconte des souvenirs de guerre sujets à controverse. Quant à "Edmée", elle est l'héroïne d'un conte corrosif qui s'émancipe allégrement des poncifs du genre.

Story
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.

In questo terzo libro della Storia contemporanea, il signor Bergeret si riconcilia finalmente con la vita. Diventato professore titolare, acquisita la dolce compagnia di un cane, continua, fra riflessioni filosofiche e prese di posizioni politiche del tutto scomode riguardanti l’affare Dreyfus, ad accompagnarci nel viaggio di questa Francia in cui governi radicali e conservatori si alternano, e in cui l’antisemitismo viene considerato patriottico.

Story
La tragedia di un poveruomo stritolato da una macchina infernale. E questa prima impressione viene alla fine confermata da un epilogo incerto quanto doloroso. Ma tra la tesi e la sintesi, nel mezzo, si collocano infiniti spunti che meritano una scomposizione analitica, e che spiegano il corso degli eventi che travolgono lo sfortunato carrettiere. Ne voglio cogliere due, perché sono più attuali che mai: la strumentalizzazione della legge e la sua sostanziale ipocrisia.

I 1700-tallets Paris arbejder Jacques på sin fars restaurant, hvor han en dag møder en mærkelig abbed. Abbeden tilbyder Jacques kost og logi, hvis den unge dreng vil lade abbeden undervise ham i græsk, latin og kristendom. Det lyder mærkeligt, men alligevel tager Jacques imod tilbuddet. Det viser sig imidlertid, at abbeden har en lettere aparte tilgang til kristendommen og samfundet som helhed. Sammen kommer de ud for lidt af hvert og møder de mest mærkværdige eksistenser.

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.
