Description



Book Synopsis



Thaïs is a novel by Anatole France, published in 1890. Set in early Christian Egypt, it tells the story of Paphnutius, a devout monk who seeks to save the soul of Thaïs, a famous courtesan in Alexandria. Driven by religious zeal, Paphnutius persuades Thaïs to abandon her life of sin and retreat to a convent for penance.

As Thaïs undergoes spiritual transformation, Paphnutius struggles with his own internal conflicts and desires. The novel explores themes of faith, redemption, and the tension between physical desire and spiritual aspiration. France critiques religious fanaticism and highlights the complexities of human nature.

Thaïs is noted for its vivid imagery and philosophical depth. The novel's exploration of the transformative power of love and faith made it a significant work of its time. It was later adapted into an opera by Jules Massenet, which further popularized the story.
