Description: THAIS Written by Anatole France Published by Illustrated Editions Company, New York. Copyright 1931; this is an illustrated American translation of France’s 1890 novel. The illustrations are by Arthur Zaidenberg. From Wikipedia: Anatole France; (16 April 1844 – 12 October 1924) was a French poet, journalist, and novelist with several best-sellers. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters. He was a member of the Académie Française, and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterized as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace, and a true Gallic temperament". Thaïs is a novel based on events in the life of Saint Thaïs of Egypt, a legendary convert to Christianity who is said to have lived in the 4th century. It was the inspiration for the 1894 opera of the same name by Jules Massenet.
