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.” This volume assembles six of his greatest novels: Penguin Island, The Crimes of Sylvestre Bonnard, The Gods Are Athirst, The Revolt of the Angels, Thaïs, and The Red Lily.
