Autorenporträt
François-Anatole Thibault (1844 - 1924), better known as Anatole France, was a French journalist, poet, novelist, and Nobel laureate for literature. Spending much of his early life in his father's bookshop, France quickly rose to prominence as a respected author of over 25 works. A French Classicist writer with a style reminiscent of Voltaire and Fénélon, France's work has a strong preoccupation with scepticism and hedonism. He is best remembered for his classic French novels 'La Rôtisserie de la Reine Pédauque' (1893) and 'Le Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard' (1881). France's works have had a historic legacy, and he is recognised today as one of France's most prominent authors.
