English The Revolt of the Angels Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Revolt_of_the_Angels Produced by Juliet Sutherland and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Revolt of the Angels" by Anatole France is a novel written in the early 20th century. This satirical work explores themes of faith, rebellion, and the intersection of the divine with the mundane, centering around the peculiar happenings in the life of the d'Esparvieu family. The opening chapters introduce us to the family's rich history, anchored by the intricate library filled with scholarly texts, and the eccentric characters that inhabit the household. The beginning of the narrative sets up the gradual unraveling of order in the d'Esparvieu household, focusing particularly on the diligent librarian, Monsieur Sariette, who struggles to make sense of a series of bizarre occurrences involving the library's books mysteriously being strewn about. We are introduced to members of the family, including Maurice, the indifferent lawyer, and his pious brother René, while the presence of a guardian angel, embroiled in philosophical musings and a quest for knowledge, stirs restlessness and rebellion against divine authority. This initial segment hints at the blending of supernatural elements with human folly, as the characters grapple with both spiritual and existential dilemmas.
