The Revolt of the Angels

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. The Revolt of the Angels is a clever and unconventional comedy with profound views on politics, religion, and human nature.Public Domain (P)2020 Museum Audiobooks
