The son of a bookseller, he spent most of his life around books.
His father's bookstore was called the Librairie de France and from
this name Jacques Anatole Francois Thibault took his nom-de plume.
Anatole France studied at the College Stanislaus and after
graduation he helped his father by working at his bookstore. After
several years he secured the position of a cataloguer at
Bacheline-Deflorenne and at Lemerre, and in 1876 he was appointed a
librarian for the French Senate. Ironic, skeptical, he was
considered in his day the ideal French man of letters. He was
elected to the French Academy in 1896 and was awarded the Nobel
Prize for Literature in 1921."The law, in its majestic equality,
forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the
streets, and to steal their bread."

Penguin Island is a satirical novel by Anatole France first
published in 1908. The book details the history of the penguins and
is written as a critique of human nature, and is also a satire on
France's political history, including the Dreyfus affair. Morals,
customs and laws are satirised within the context of the fictional
land of Penguinia, where the animals were baptised erroneously by
the myopic Abbot Mael. The book is ultimately concerned with the
perfectibility of mankind. As soon as the Penguins are transformed
into humans, they begin robbing and murdering each other. By the
end of the book, a thriving civilization is destroyed by terrorist
bombs.
