Hargling Koroleva Goose paws. France A.

“The Korolev Hussian Housing Houses” is the novel by the French writer Anatoly France (1844–1924). By the time the author was created behind the author, there was already a quarter of a century of fruitful literary work: the book “Crime of Sylvester Bonar” and “Thais”, which brought him wide fame, cooperation with leading Parisian newspapers and magazines. The time in France's work is planned the most important fracture: before the adherent of “impassive” art, at the turn of the 1880s-1890s, he is involved in the cataclysms of our time, turning an witty and thin satire against its flaws.

The effect of the novel is assigned By the 1720s-the time of the origin of the most fruitful, according to France, the educational movement. A visual embodiment of the spirit of this era is the figure of the skeptic, embodied by the author in the non -trivial image of Abbot Jerome Kuanyar. Neither his external piety, nor formal fidelity to church teaching can overshadow the critical mind of the hero, revealing in numerous conversations and disputes. From pure good -heartedness, the scientist Abbot makes many ironic remarks about barren scholasticism and imaginary asceticism - and, without suspecting it, creates “the most complete prayer book of skepticism from the time of Montaeny”, consonant with the philosophical ideas of Voltaire, Montesquieu and Russo.
