Literary career

France began his literary career as a writer and a journalist. Le Parnasse Contemporain's "La Part de Madeleine" was one of his poems in 1869. He sat on the commission in charge of the third Parnasse Contemporain compilation in 1875. He began writing many papers and observations as a journalist, beginning in 1867. Le Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard (1881), a novel by Patrick Bonnard, became popular. Its protagonist, skeptic old scholar Sylvester Bonnard, embodied France's own culture. The novel was lauded for its chic prose and received a prize from the Académie française.

France ridiculed faith in the occult, as seen in Les Opinions de Jérôme Coignard (1893), France captured the fin de siècle's atmosphere. In 1896, he was elected to the Académie française.

France was involved in the Dreyfus scandal. He signed Émile Zola's manifesto in favor of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish army officer who had been incorrectly found guilty of espionage. In his 1901 book Monsieur Bergeret, France wrote about the incident.

After the birds were baptized by mistake by the almost-blind Abbot Mael, France's later works included L'Île Des Pingouins (Penguin Island, 1908), which satirizes human nature by depicting penguin conversion into human. It's a comedy of France, beginning in Medieval times, transitioning to the author's time and ending with a dystopian future. Les dieux ont soif (The Gods Are Athirst, 1912) is a French novel set in Paris during Maximilien Robespierre's reign of terror (1793–94) of the Reign of Terror. It is a wake-up call against political and ideological fanaticism, as well as other scholarly interpretations of current events. La Revolte des Anges (Revolt of the Angels, 1914) is often described as Anatole France's most complex and ironic book. It's based on the Christian interpretation of the War in Heaven. It tells the tale of Arcade, Maurice d'Esparvieu's guardian angel. Born bored because Bishop d'Esparvieu is sinless, Arcade begins reading the bishop's books on theology and becomes an atheist. He flies to Paris, meets a woman, falls in love, loses his virginity, and meets the Devil, who realizes that if he overthrew God, he will become like God. If "in ourselves and alone we attack and destroy Ialdabaoth," Arcade acknowledges that replacing God with another is meaningless. According to France, "Ialdabaoth" is God's stumbling name and refers to "the child who wanders."

In 1921, he was named the Nobel Prize winner. He died in 1924 and is buried in the Neuilly-sur-Seine community cemetery near Paris.

On the 31 May 1922, the Catholic Church's Index Librorum Prohibitus (Prohibited Books Index) was included. This was described as a "distinction." In 1966, this Index was first introduced.
