Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from La Fille de Cl�mentine, ou le Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard, Membre de l'Institut
For the selection of an author of an already secured and constantly growing reputation, like M. Anatole France, who, on several occasions, has stood prominent among the candidates for recent vacancies in the chairs in the French Academy, no apology can be needed here. As for the work itself which has been selected, it may fairly claim to rank as the author's chef-d'oeuvre in the field of fiction. Nor will the somewhat sensational cha racter of its title be made to condemn it when the reader learns that the so - called Crime is a crime only in name.
