About this ebook
Published in 1890, this historical novel, based on the life of Saint Thais of Egypt, inspired the opera by Massenet. Its focus is less on Thais—a courtesan who converted to Christianity—than on Paphnutius, a self-deluded hermit who abandons his ascetic life in order to save the seductress Thais's soul . . . or so he believes.
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.
