Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anatole France Among the would-be volunteers of 1914 was the virtual Dean of French letters, a man of seventy years. We were surprised, not at his age but at his transformation; for nearly twenty years he had preached pacifism, and the brotherhood of man. We were surprised because he was Anatole France. Yet scarcely twenty-five years before, this radical was known as a skeptic, an intellectual hedonist, a dilettante; in 1889 no one could foresee the future dreamer of reform in the nihilistic pages of Thaïs. So his final heroic inconsistency is only a part of a greater problem, a single phase in a life´s drama, whereby a skeptic and a pessimist developed into a man of action. This problem, this drama, must be the excuse of the present volume. Its hero is perhaps our greatest living man of letters.
