Anatole France, de son nom exact François-Anatole Thibault, (1844-1924), nĂ Ă  Paris, quai Malaquais, est un Ăcrivain français. Il est considĂrĂ comme l’un des plus grands Ăcrivains de la Troisième RĂpublique dont il fut Ăgalement l’un des plus importants critiques littĂraires, et comme l’une des consciences les plus significatives de son temps, s’engageant en faveur de nombreuses causes sociales et politiques du dĂbut du XXe siècle. Anatole France fait ses Ătudes au collège Stanislas. Il est disciple de Leconte de lisle, avec qui il travaillera quelque temps comme bibliothĂcaire au SĂnat. France connaĂt son premier succès public, en 1881, avec Le Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard, couronnĂ par l’AcadĂmie française. Il rejoint Émile Zola, avec qui il s’est rĂconciliĂ, lors de l’affaire Dreyfus. Il participe Ă  la fondation de la Ligue des droits de l’homme. Son engagement dreyfusard se retrouve dans les quatre tomes de son Histoire Contemporaine (1897- 1901). Il est laurĂat en 1921 du prix Nobel de littĂrature pour l’ensemble de son oeuvre. Ses oeuvres comprennent: ThaĂŻs (1890), Le Jardin d’Épicure (1895), Pierre Nozière (1899) et L’Île des Pingouins (1908).

About the Author:
Anatole France (1844 - 1924) was a French poet, journalist and novelist. He was a successful novelist, with several best-sellers. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters. He was a member of the Académie française and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature "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". France is also widely believed to be the model for narrator Marcel's literary idol Bergotte in Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time.
