Synopsis

The Revolt of the Angels (original title: La Révolte des Anges) is a satirical novel by Anatole France, published in 1914. The story is a witty and philosophical exploration of rebellion and enlightenment, using the framework of a celestial uprising to critique religious, political, and social norms.

The novel follows Arcade, a guardian angel who becomes disillusioned with the heavenly order and decides to join a rebellion against God. As he descends to Earth, Arcade gathers a group of fellow angels who share his desire for freedom and knowledge. Together, they plot to overthrow the divine regime, seeking to establish a new order based on reason and justice.

Through the narrative, France satirizes the dogmas of organized religion and the absurdities of blind faith, using the angels' revolt as a metaphor for intellectual and spiritual liberation. The novel is renowned for its humor, wit, and incisive commentary on human nature and the quest for truth.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Revolt of the Angels is the book that a UFO writer used to demonstrate that his particular brand of Ancient Astronauts were really Alien Creatures from a parallel dimension. Perhaps -- France herein makes similar points -- with tongue firmly in cheek, of course. You'll just to decide for yourself. France won the Nobel Prize for literature back in the days when it meant something. This farce is a treat whether or not the conspiracy is farce.
