เกี่ยวกับ eBook เล่มนี้
Jacques Menetrier, the son of a cookshop owner, finds his quiet life turned upside down when the wayward monk, Jerome Coignard, takes him under his tutelage. The pair soon find themselves in the employ of eccentric theorist M. D’Asterac, translating ancient documents on spirits of fire.
Soon, Jacques' new life is thrown into chaos when he is reunited with the beautiful Catherine, whereupon he enters a love triangle that threatens to bring his whole world tumbling down.
‘The Queen Pedauque’ (1892) is one of Anatole France’s lesser-known works but holds its own as a hilarious and compelling tale. Philosophical and farcical in its own right, ‘The Queen Pedaque’ is reminiscent of classic comedic philosophical novels that came after it, such as Iris Murdoch’s ‘Under the Net’ and Sartre’s ‘The Age of Reason’.
A must-read for fans of France’s work, or anyone hoping to read a true French Classic from a best selling Nobel Laureate.
François-Anatole Thibault (1844 – 1924), better known as Anatole France, was a French journalist, poet, novelist, and Nobel laureate for literature. Spending much of his early life in his father’s bookshop, France quickly rose to prominence as a respected author of over 25 works. A French Classicist writer with a style reminiscent of Voltaire and Fénélon, France’s work has a strong preoccupation with scepticism and hedonism. He is best remembered for his classic French novels ‘La Rôtisserie de la Reine Pédauque’ (1893) and ‘Le Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard’ (1881). France’s works have had a historic legacy, and he is recognised today as one of France’s most prominent authors.
