Description: The Revolt of the Angels Anatole France translated by Wilfrid Jackson, Illustrations by Frank C. Pape Luxurious "Illustrated Edition" of 1926. Black cloth over boards with gold titling on spine and gold titling and illustration on front cover. Deckled edges, red tinted top text block. Twelve illustrations with illustrated B/W cover sheets. Heavy watermarked paper. The Revolt of the Angels (La Révolte des Anges) is a 1914 novel by Anatole France. It retells the classic Christian story of the war in Heaven between angels led by the archangel Michael and others, led by Satan. The war ends with the defeat and casting to Earth of the latter. The plot emphasizes themes of protagonists fighting a ruling hierarchy, and attempting to escape it, as well as "hiddenness, delusion, revolution, and epiphany ... a literary exploration of existential choices in an apocalyptic context". It is written, says René Boylesve, with a "deft levity". Mutual antagonism between God and his angels is emphasized, which leads to disgruntlement and ultimately rebellion by the latter."
