The novel (original French title -- L'Île des Pingouins) is a satire on human nature. The first publication was in 1908. These penguins are mistaken for humans by the 97-year-old priest, Father Mael, because of his bad eyesight. He baptizes them, and once baptized, they have no choice but to become human. They take on human traits (build civilizations, go to war, etc.). The book is very funny and powerful. (Summary by Michael)

In this volume they take us on literary journeys that are revealing and challenging yet always entertaining.

Mademoiselle Jeanne, drawn by curiosity and the allure of mystery, attends a midnight Mass at the village church, said to be haunted by spirits of the departed. As the night unfolds, the air grows thick with a palpable sense of dread, and the shadows of the past emerge to claim their presence among the living. In the dim candlelight, ghostly figures and ethereal whispers fill the sacred space, weaving an eerie tapestry of fear and fascination. As Jeanne witnesses the ethereal procession, she is confronted with the haunting reality of mortality and the power of faith.
