{"product_id":"penguin-island-anatole-france-anatole-france-9781604241495","title":"Penguin Island - Anatole France","description":"Penguin Island is a satirical novel by Anatole France first published in 1908. The book details the history of the penguins and is written as a critique of human nature, and is also a satire on France's political history, including the Dreyfus affair. Morals, customs and laws are satirised within the context of the fictional land of Penguinia, where the animals were baptised erroneously by the myopic Abbot Maël. The book is ultimately concerned with the perfectibility of mankind. As soon as the Penguins are transformed into humans, they begin robbing and murdering each other. By the end of the book, a thriving civilization is destroyed by terrorist bombs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anatole France,France Anatole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1604241497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781604241495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Book Jungle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.65d","brand":"Anatole France","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459562713343,"sku":"9781604241495","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9da16ef-363e-44f1-a677-58e2e426eac1.jpg?v=1777410473","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/penguin-island-anatole-france-anatole-france-9781604241495","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
