The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard
About this book
This novel follows Sylvestre Bonnard, an aging French scholar and bibliophile, whose quiet life of study leads to an act of compassion that the title ironically labels a crime. It suits readers who enjoy reflective, character-driven classic fiction.
Anatole France
Anatole France was a French poet, journalist, and novelist. Several of his books were 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".
