I 1700-talets Paris arbetar huvudpersonen Jacques som stekvändare i sin fars stekstuga Drottning Gåsfot. När stekstugan en dag får besök av abbé Coignard får Jacques ett erbjudande: mot fri mat ska abbén undervisa honom i latin, grekiska och kristendom. Det visar sig att den försupne abbén har minst sagt okonventionella föreställningar om vad ett kristet leverne innebär. Tillsammans stöter de på en mängd bisarra figurer, alla med sina egna säregna idéer om samhället, livet och historien. Drottning Gåsfot är nobelpristagaren Anatole Frances mest älskade och spridda verk.

Die Schriften der französischen Prosa-Ikone Anatole France wurden zu Beginn des letzten Jahrhunderts vom Vatikan auf den Index verbotener Bücher gesetzt. Ob bei den offiziellen europäischen Gottes-Profis inzwischen ein Umdenken stattgefunden hat, ist zu bezweifeln.

First published in 1908, and widely regraded as his masterpiece, Penguin Island is Anatole France's most searching and satirical novel. A humorous critique of customs and laws, rituals and rites, its subject is human nature, but its characters are penguins in the mythical land of Penguinia. The story of the strutting penguins and their virtues and vices is not merely a burlesque allegory of French history, it is a satire of the history of mankind. With gentle yet biting irony, France challenges the Spencerian belief in the ultimate perfectibility of man, though his irony reveals his sympathy for man's weaknesses and his need for social institutions.
