The Revolt of the Angels is a novel written by Anatole France, first published in 1914. The book tells the story of a group of angels who become disillusioned with their lives in heaven and decide to rebel against God. The main character, Arcade, is a guardian angel who becomes increasingly dissatisfied with his role in the universe and begins to question the authority of God. Along with a group of like-minded angels, Arcade decides to stage a revolt and overthrow God's rule.As the story unfolds, Arcade and his fellow rebels encounter a variety of characters, including a young poet named Maurice, who becomes a key figure in their struggle. The novel also explores themes of free will, individualism, and the nature of power and authority.Throughout the book, France uses vivid imagery and poetic language to create a rich and complex world that is both fantastical and grounded in reality. The Revolt of the Angels is a thought-provoking and challenging work that raises important questions about the nature of faith, morality, and the human condition.God, conquered, will become Satan; Satan, conquering, will become God. May the fates spare me this terrible lot; I love the Hell which formed my genius. I love the Earth where I have done some good, if it be possible to do any good in this fearful world where beings live but by rapine. Now, thanks to us, the god of old is dispossessed of his terrestrial empire, and every thinking being on this globe disdains him or knows him not.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
