Abstract

"Penguin Island" (1908) is a satirical novel. Under the guise of a fantastic story of penguins, baptized by mistake by a dim-sighted saint, and then turned into people, France unfolds a satirical picture of the past and present of France. But the meaning of the novel is broader and deeper than a parody of French national history. Presented in a generalized and allegorical form, the history of the French people here symbolizes the history of all mankind. The literary device employed by France gives him the opportunity to be independent of actual historical facts and, using them only for typical generalizations, to freely conjecture and fantasize so as to reveal the very essence of the historical process.
