Anatole France

1,389books535followers
French critic Anatole France, pen name of Jacques Anatole Fran莽ois Thibault wrote sophisticated, often satirical short stories and novels, including Penguin Island (1908), and won the Nobel Prize of 1921 for literature.

Anatole France began his career as a poet and a journalist. From 1867, he as a journalist composed articles and notices.

In 1869, Le Parnasse Contemporain published La Part de Madeleine of his poems. In 1875, he sat on the committee in charge of the third such compilation. He moved Paul Verlaine and St茅phane Mallarm茅 aside.

Skeptical old scholar Sylvester Bonnard, protagonist of famous Le Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard (1881), embodied own personality of the author. The academy praised its elegant prose.

Anatole France in La Rotisserie de la Reine Pedauque (1893) ridiculed belief in the occult and in Les Opinions de Jerome Coignard (1893) captured the atmosphere of the fin de si猫cle.

People elected him to the Acad茅mie fran莽aise in 1896.
People falsely convicted Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish army officer, of espionage. Anatole France took an important part in the affair, signed manifesto of 脡mile Zola to support Dreyfus, and authored Monsieur Bergeret in 1901.

After the nearsighted Abbot Mael baptized the animals in error, France in later work depicts the transformation into human nature in 1908.

People considered most profound La Revolte des Anges (1914). It tells of Arcade, the guardian angel of Maurice d'Esparvieu. Arcade falls in love, joins the revolutionary movement of angels, and towards the end recognizes the meaningless overthrow of God unless "in ourselves and in ourselves alone we attack and destroy Ialdabaoth."

People awarded him "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" in 1921.

In 1922, the Catholic Church put entire works of France on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum (Index of Prohibited Books).

He died, and people buried his body in the Neuilly-sur-Seine community cemetery near Paris.

While staring at my bookshelves dedicated to literature Nobel Laureates (and a bunch of other books that didn't fit anywhere else), Thais fell into my hands.

I wasn't impressed with the book at first since I took it for yet another one of those conversions of the sinful woman by a holy man - and an awful, stupid holy man at that. After , not to mention , which made me scream, I have developed an allergy against old men who get away with everything because they have learned to use Christian terminology and pseudo-morality to justify their sense of entitlement and superiority and inappropriate self-righteousness.

But gradually I got dragged into the story of the holy man's pitiful delusion. He mistakes his sexual feelings for divine whispers, then thinks he is under the influence of the devil. Finally, when it is too late, he understands the nature of his rapture and hurries to confess his true, earthly love - only to find out that his beloved Thais now believes in his delusional teachings. She dies without giving him any consolation. Talking about poetical justice!

"Il y a des forces, Lucius, infiniment plus puissantes que la raison et que la science.
-Lesquelles? demanda Cotta.
L'ignorance et la folie, reponda Aristee."

That is as true now as it was when Anatole France wrote it, and he concludes with a poignant and unforgettable final sentence:

"Il 茅tait devenu si hideux qu'en passant la main sur son visage, il sentit son laideur."

I didn't feel sorry for him.

And I have felt sorry for very unlikely candidates, most recently for example the most manipulative characters in or !

This character was beyond compassion, but it was an excellent read!

This review is dedicated to T.R.G.T.

This novel presents the parallel story, of some sorts since it is intertwined, of a double metamorphosis.

On the one hand we have a beautiful courtesan. 罢丑补茂蝉, transforming from a state of golden splendor in which she relishes in her glamour and smiles to the pleasures that life can offer her, as seen here:





To one in which, in a less colorful world, she can strive to extricate her soul from her binding body and send it along with her gaze towards her newly found god, as we see in:





But as the basic tenet of finance theory says, there is no reward that can come without relinquishing something. The above conversion would require a price to pay.

To compensate the story of the courtesan above we see an anchorite moving from his zone of comfort, where his soul feels in perfect harmony with his surroundings, to one in which challenges will be summoned and confronted. In this second transformation we see Paphnuce, the ascetic, moving from this state of bliss:




To a situation in which after a struggle is fought and lost, he may face having to enter this place.






That is, unless the reward carried its own redeeming recompense, as we all hope.



罢丑补茂蝉 was written by the Nobel Prize winner Anatole France, or Anatole Fran莽ois Thibault (1844-1924), and was published in 1890, first in serialized form and eventually in one volume. In writing this story of a Saint from the 4th century Alexandria, France had inspired himself in a relatively recent French translation of 10th century tale written by a German nun.

Apart from the crossing parallels mentioned above, the novel includes a famous debate on philosophy and theology which at the time, due to its anticlerical tone, raised more than one eyebrow. A. France eventually, in 1920, joined the Communist party.

As a writer, France was famous not just for his very public role in French Letters, but for his stylized style found in most of his works. He is also admired for his courageous support for Dreyfus during the dreadful scandal. The Surrealists, however, loathed him but later Joseph Conrad redeemed him when he referred to him as 鈥渢he prince of prose鈥�.

Now he is also known for his role as Mentor to Marcel Proust and as one of the models for the latter鈥檚 character of Bergotte.

For me the book鈥檚 main appeal coincides with that of Conrad鈥檚 as well as residing with his connection to Proust. In my reading I have been looking for his a taste of lyricism and for Proustian seeds. I found a few.


A sample of the melodious writing that mesmerized Proust:

Le soleil 茅tait d茅j脿 bas 脿 l鈥檋orizon quand il vit le fleuve effrayant qui roulait ses eaux sanglantes entre des rochers d鈥檕r et de feu.


The two writers shared similar concepts about appearances and reality:

Les pyramides de Memphis semblent au lever de l鈥檃urore des c么nes de lumi猫re rose. Elles apparaissent, au coucher du soleil, sur le ciel embrass茅 comme de noirs triangles. Mais qui p茅n茅trera leur intime substance ? Tu me reproches de nier les apparences quand au contraire les apparences sont les seules r茅alit茅s que je reconnaisse. Le soleil me semble lumineux, mais sa nature m鈥檈st inconnue.


Or gave a comparable importance to beauty:

Certes. La beaut茅 est-ce qu鈥檌l y a de plus puissant au monde et, si nous 茅tions faits pour la poss茅der toujours, nous nous soucierions aussi peu que possible de d茅miurge, du logos, des 茅ons et de toutes les autres r锚veries des philosophes.


They both coincided in their opinion on whether acting should be done in a poetic declamatory manner, the 鈥渕ajest茅 tragique et le chant des beaux vers鈥�, or in the easier and more vulgar performance style in which 鈥渓鈥檃ttitude et le geste鈥� are emphasized.

And if Proust鈥檚 young Narrator listened to Bergotte鈥檚 analysis of the Ph猫dre that haunted him, here we can read France鈥檚 direct tribute to this cursed heroine.

----------------------------

France's novel inspired Jules Massenet (1842-1912) to write an opera, also called 罢丑补茂蝉, which was premiered at the Garnier in 1894, but which after some revisions reached its final form four years later. Even if 罢丑补茂蝉 does not belong to the top Opera repertory, Massenet鈥檚 work has been more acclaimed than the original novel.


Original poster for the premiere of 罢丑补茂蝉, the Opera

The most famous parts in the opera are the mellifluous violin solo or the 惭茅诲颈迟补迟颈辞苍 played in an intermezzo, and the very lyrical duets by the Soprano and the Baritone voices for this perplexing couple formed by the courtesan 罢丑补茂蝉 and the anchorite Athana毛l (Paphnuce in the novel). The duet sung in the Desert, which dates from the revised edition, presented in the middle of Act 2 is particularly beautiful. And the less usual pairing of a Soprano with a Baritone is one of the attractions of this opera.

I have listened and watched the DVD production with the fantastic Ren茅e Fleming as she appeared with Thomas Hampson in the Met production in 2008 (as seen above). As the NY Times reported, this opera was undertaken by the Met because Fleming wanted to sing this notoriously difficult role, rather than the other way around. As an American soprano she is rightfully stepping into the shoes of Sibyl Anderson, the Californian singer for whose voice Massenet composed his opera. Fleming鈥檚 magnificent costumes were designed by Christian Lacroix.

罢丑补茂蝉 was also made into a film in 1917 by Goldwyn, but I cannot offer any opinion on this.

This has been a fascinating theme to explore. I am not sure I will ever read the novel again, but I certainly plan to watch and listen to this very beautiful opera (3 stars for the novel, 4 for the opera).

Soon.

A terrible philosophical feat! This book offers a journey that is both intellectual and philosophical, so glorious to such an extent that one would risk getting lost in the cogs of religion. Thoughts never stop twisting and biting. Philosophies clash and crumble like the path to truth is a rough, winding road. Anatole France leads us with verve in these winding paths to make us know its truth. I do not know, in any case, the fact that routs all the knowledge I had on Christianity, the philosophers. Anatole France tells us about the life of Paphnutius, a solitary monk. They abandoned everything related to earthly joys or achievements to perfect his soul or spirit in the desert, where he created a small community of the poor in the body but rich in the heart. Paphnutius' life will never be the same again, the day she decides to convert 罢丑补茂蝉, a courtesan who lights both the stage in the Alexandrian theatre and the hearts of men. It will not be up to Paphnutius to succeed only in this project but also to resist the winds which will rise around this disturbing initiative!
A complex and captivating reading, and I appreciated its philosophical scope!

"But why should we offend Him? Since He has created us, He can be neither angry nor surprised to see us as He made us, and acting according to the nature He has given us. A good deal too much is said on His behalf, and He is often credited with ideas He never had. You yourself, stranger, do you know His true character? Who are you that you should speak to me in His name?"

I absolutely loved this novel. At first, I wasn't too crazy about it for I found the 'spiritual' protagonist, the monk, more than a bit annoying. However, even at the very start, I was impressed by the intelligent writing filled with philosophical passages, gentle irony and subtle wit. It is rare that a man can mock religion and invoke respect for it in the same time. Anatole France criticisms the church, but at the same time he respects the holiness that can exist within it. He seems to be wonderfully open towards everything and an admirer of honesty and truth.

The opening to the novel is pretty simple. A monk travels to Alexandria in order to convert an infidel woman. This monk has decided that he will bring Taida, a famous actress (he himself was enamored with her in his young days) to the light of faith and make a nun of her. As I said, there were quite a few things that bugged me about this monk but as the novel progressed, I realized that they are bugging the author himself. Anatole France adopts the form of the religious/spiritual novel, but his novel is often a criticism of religion itself.

Anatole France mocks the dogmatism and the fanaticism of the religious but at the same time, he shows respect for simple honest believers. He also shows respect for the skeptics, the poor or for anyone who is honest about anything. I also loved how the author made a heroine of a woman who was quite promiscuous and amazingly beautiful. It seems that the writer doesn't blame Taida for anything. That's so unlike the dogmatic way of thinking and so refreshing. The author criticisms a materialistic way of life and the pursuit of wealth, but he doesn't do it by pushing religion down our throats. One has a feeling France understood that this world is a complex place and that answers aren't easily found. There is not a single answer that fits everyone, for we all different and cannot arrive at the same conclusions. Taida wasn't predictable at all. I could sense how things are going to end, but only towards the end. I truly enjoyed reading it. All in all, Taida is a wonderful piece of writing. I was very much impressed with every aspect of this novel. I can't wait to read more of this writer.

A hermit monk, so dedicated to an austere lifestyle that he is afraid to even take pleasure in the splendor of nature, starts having intrusive thoughts about a woman he saw dancing on stage when he was a teenager. He decides that the best course of action is to go to Alexandria and make her repent and mend her ways. He will win her soul for God. (Yeah, good luck with that, I thought.)

But as it turns out, he does succeed, because there was actually a Saint 罢丑补茂蝉 who was a courtesan in Roman Egypt in the 4th Century. So then I figured that the narrative would switch to her, the book bearing her name and all. But no, for information about the life and sainthood of 罢丑补茂蝉 the reader must look elsewhere. We get a bit of information, but this is decidedly not her book. This is all about the monk, and his religious antics for the glory of God, his doubts, his visions, his obsessions. But also about 4th Century Egypt - and what a time and place to be alive! On his way to convert the very successful courtesan 罢丑补茂蝉 the monk meets a Spinx - who accepts his benediction - and a sort of nihilist fakir - who does not. In Alexandria there are philosophers and theologians of various brands in heated (and fairly drunken) debate. We are, amongst other things, treated to a surprising theory of redemption featuring, not Jesus of Nazareth, but Helen of Troy. In the desert demons are on the prowl in animal shape, holy men practicing self-flagellation live in caves and on top of pillars, and the whole atmosphere of the book is one of intense religious and philosophical activity - although not all of it particularly sound or healthy.

The prose is amazing (if somewhat biblical in tone). And while it is a bit of a pet peeve of mine when a female title character turns out to only exist in the book as a foil, or opportunity for growth, for the male main character, I forgive it when the story manages to mesmerize me. And this one did. Although I am not sure I would recommend it to anyone without at least a little bit of a background in Greek philosophy and/or Roman history and/or late Antiquity Christian Era. I caught a lot of references, but I'm sure I missed at least as many. At one point France introduces an anachronism in the shape of a musical instrument that, as far as I could discover, wasn't invented until close to his own time, and I am convinced that he did it on purpose but highly uncertain as to why. To remind the reader that the story is a fictionalized account with many liberties? At any rate it is a highly entertaining story from a fascinating era, with a moral that I think a lot of people could stand to have impressed upon them today - that actions and sins of the flesh are readily forgiven if the spirit is pure, but be careful that what you do in God's name is actually for His glory and not your own.

Nem tudom, olvastam-e m谩r olyan reg茅nyt, amelyik az i. sz. 4. sz谩zadban j谩tsz贸dik. Alexandri谩ban vagyunk, illetve nem is vagyunk, hanem a reg茅ny j谩tsz贸dik ott, de engem azonnal beszippantott, ez茅rt m茅gis hely茅nval贸 azt mondani, vagyunk. Pontos铆tva, valahol az egyiptomi sivatagban vagyunk, 茅s 鈥濫bben az id艖ben anakhor茅t谩k n茅pes铆tett茅k be a sivatagot鈥�, ami persze nem jelent nagy n茅ps疟r疟s茅get, mert t谩volabb 谩lltak a s谩rkunyh贸k egym谩st贸l, szerett茅k mag谩nyosan sanyargatni magukat az aszk茅t谩k.

A var谩zslat sz谩momra ebben a mondatban 谩llott: 鈥濼h茅ba harcmez艖 volt, ahol 贸r谩nk茅nt, de kiv谩ltk茅ppen 茅jszaka, csod谩latos 眉tk枚zetek zajlottak menny 茅s pokol k枚z枚tt.鈥� Megismerked眉nk a h艖ssel, a szent emberrel, aki olyan nagy szent fiatal kora ellen茅re, hogy k枚vet艖i is vannak m谩r. Benne is 枚sszecsap menny 茅s pokol, k眉ldet茅se t谩mad, 茅gi sugallat hat谩s谩ra el kell indulnia, hogy megmentse Thaist, Alexandria leg眉nnepeltebb sz铆n茅szn艖-kurtiz谩nj谩t... Ez m茅g a reg茅ny legeleje, ez茅rt elmondhattam, onnan meg egy val贸s谩gos kult煤rharc tan煤i lehet眉nk, itt m茅g a kereszt茅nys茅gnek t枚bb 谩ga van 茅s a g枚r枚g istenek is 茅lnek.

Elgondolkodtam ennek az 铆r谩snak az 煤n. ideol贸giai n茅z艖pontj谩n. Mes茅l艖nk, a mindentud贸 narr谩tor kivonja mag谩t a t枚rt茅n茅sekb艖l annyira, hogy nem is lehet tudni, van-e egy谩ltal谩n 谩ll谩sfoglal谩s. Vannak persze nagyon is mulattat贸 oda-odapiszk谩k az int茅zm茅nyes kereszt茅nys茅gnek, 茅s 茅rezhet艖 a szimp谩tia n茅melyik g枚r枚g filoz贸fia ir谩ny谩ba, de a v茅g茅n nem tudom eld枚nteni, kinek is adjak igazat (茅s hogy France mit is k茅pvisel) 鈥� 茅n 煤gy l谩tom, a v茅ge minden felfog谩st igazolhat 鈥� 茅s akkor az is nyilv谩nval贸, hogy ez egy tanmese, m茅ghozz谩 emiatt egy igen ravasz tanmese.

Ami azt illeti, ha valami gyenges茅get k茅ne eml铆tenem, k枚nnyen megtal谩ln谩m: ez ugyanis t茅nyleg egy mese, m茅ghozz谩 abban az 茅rtlemben, hogy a konfliktusok eltompulnak az el艖ad谩s m贸dja miatt: nincs igaz谩b贸l (茅s 茅rz茅sem szerint) k茅mi谩ja a szerepl艖knek, mindenki egy-egy elm茅letet vagy ideol贸gi谩t k茅pvisel, r谩ad谩sul azt ki is fejti am煤gy g枚r枚g m贸dra. De ez meg j贸 amiatt, mert igen megnyugtat贸 az olvas谩s 鈥� tal谩n a v茅g茅t艖l eltekintve.

A molyon 4,5 csillagra tenn茅m.

France mon amour
Di Anatole France, premio Nobel tra i pi霉 trascurati, avevo letto - con sommo divertimento, anzi, colgo l'occasione per consigliarlo, . Qui ho trovato una voce diversa, sempre critica e crudelmente ironica, che rivisita in maniera originale la storia (il mito?) di San Pafnuzio di Tebe e di Santa Taide. Nonostante sia breve, 猫 un libro che soffre a mio avviso per eccesso di pagine: sarebbe stato un fenomenale racconto lungo. O breve.

In sintesi, abbiamo una doppia conversione: Taide, attrice dalla vita dissoluta, viene convertita al cristianesimo dall'anacoreta Pafnuzio, che sacrificher脿 involontariamente la propria santit脿 per "salvare" la donna, convertendosi al desiderio. Sotto le scorie religiose, il resoconto della sofferta scoperta dell'amore terreno. Massenet ringrazia (per rimanere in tema di trascurati).

Anatole France took an old legend about the conversion of a beautiful woman in Egypt, about 300 A.D., who progresses from prostitute to a saint, and wrote it into this late 19th-century novel with an interesting psychological twist. The central character is Thais, a sought-after Alexandrian singer-dancer and courtesan, who will eventually leave behind her life of luxurious material possessions and ongoing adoration of hundreds of male admirers (and clients), convert wholly to Christianity, trek across the Egyptian desert, enter a cloistered convent, then die in the ectasy of religious visions. The really interesting character, though, is Paphnuce, a Christian monk from a desert monestary who travels to Alexandria because he is obsessed with converting Thais. Like the monk Ambrosio in The Monk by Matthew B. Lewis, Paphnuce is just a little too impressed by his own religious fervor, which makes him ripe for a fall. Also, we readers guess early on that his motivations for wishing to travel to Alexandria and convert Thais may not be entirely pure. As the book moves to its end, we see that Thais eventually will rise to much higher spiritual level than Paphnuce ever knew, and that he will eventually fall to much lower depths of degradation than she ever knew, even as a courtesane. Jules Massenet turned this story into a breathtakingly beautiful opera. Every aria is exquisite, but it's worth the whole ticket just to hear "Meditation," the hauntingly beautiful instrumental piece between Acts 2 and 3, during which Thais is struggling to make her decision whether she will leave her life of luxury behind and follow the Christian promptings of her heart.

Anatole France is the most clever satirist I have known, and I have known many. The writing is not my style, but it cannot be denied that he is gifted. Of course if you are well versed in the Christian faith, you will likely predict something of the ending well beforehand, but truly this story is written as if it were a cautionary tale of the new testament. If, as you are reading, you find yourself vexed or infuriated with Paphnutius, fear not, he will reap what he sows.

This book was fun. I wish I could read books like this on an average basis. In fact, I should. He is very similar to Voltaire. Both authors I believe are similar to that of Dylan and Guthrie. You could learn how to live just by reading all of their books.

Anatole France named the beautiful principal female protagonist here "Thais." To those who like her, she's an excellent stage actress and a practitioner of free love. To those who don't like her, she's but a prostitute, albeit a high-class one.

Enter the monk who had her once before he turned to God. He wants to save her from perdition. Along the way he battles/debates with friends and foes alike with all sorts of philosophies.

In the end, the monk realizes that it is Thais (or her thighs?) whom he loves, not God. This was my first Kindle-read book (no book cover, no blurbs) so I have no idea what this novel is supposed to be. I then just went direct to the story. And I finished it like a race because I did not know how Anatole France ended it, and was eager to find out, even as I was imagining all sorts of possible endings, from the prurient to the sublime.

I do not know why he did not entitle this "Paphnutius", after the monk, since it was he who did most of the agonizing here.

This was an interesting well written story with a few surprises. As I mention in a comment, it might have inspired Clive Barker. See the full review on my book blog:

3.5 stars. An interesting historical fiction novel set in the 4th Century, located in Alexandria, Egypt. It鈥檚 about the issues around renouncing sin in favour of spiritual salvation. Paphnuce, a pious abbot, travels to Alexandria to convert Thais to Christianity. Thais is a beautiful actress and courtesan. Paphnuce faces a number of temptations and his motives become questionable. Thais exposes the contradiction inherent in the idea of purity.
