About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
In the icy waters of the South, a chance encounter with a bumbling monk changes the fate of a penguin colony forever. Christened into a peculiar new existence, the penguins cast off their feathers and take up the ways of man. But beneath their borrowed clothes and hats, the same old penguin desires simmer: the thirst for power, the allure of conflict, the endless squabbles over pebbles and fish. Welcome to Penguinia, a nation mirroring our own in its absurdity and ambition, its triumphs and tribulations. Prepare to be both amused and discomforted by this tale that asks: can we truly escape our inherent nature, or are we forever destined to waddle through the same follies, flightless and fancy-free?
Anatole France
Anatole France (1844–1924) was one of the true greats of French letters and the winner of the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature. The son of a bookseller, France was first published in 1869 and became famous with The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard. Elected as a member of the French Academy in 1896, France proved to be an ideal literary representative of his homeland until his death.
