The Revolt of the Angels is a novel by French author Anatole France. The story revolves around a group of angels who become disillusioned with heaven and decide to stage a rebellion against God. The main character, Arcade, is an angel who becomes disenchanted with the monotony of heaven and its strict adherence to rules and obedience. He decides to lead a group of angels in a revolt against God, hoping to create a new world that is free from the constraints of heaven. As the story progresses, Arcade and his followers encounter various obstacles and challenges, including opposition from other angels who remain loyal to God. They also come to realize that their rebellion may have unintended consequences, and that their actions could have far-reaching implications for both heaven and earth. The Revolt of the Angels is a philosophical and satirical work that explores themes of free will, individualism, and the nature of God and religion. It is a thought-provoking and engaging read that will appeal to fans of literary fiction and philosophical works.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.
