 Penguin Island by Anatole France 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.). 1 Book1 Ch1 Life of Saint Mael 2 Book1 Ch2 The Apostolical Vocation of Saint Mael 3 Book1 Ch3 The Temptation of Saint Mael 4 Book1 Ch4 Saint Mael’s Navigation on the Ocean of Ice 5 Book1 Ch5 The Baptism of the Penguins 6 Book1 Ch6 An Assembly in Paradise 7 Book1 Ch7 An Assembly in Paradise (Continuation and End) 8 Book1 Ch8 Metamorphosis of the Penguins 9 Book2 Ch1 The First Clothes 10 Book2 Ch2 The First Clothes (Continuation and End) 11 Book2 Ch3 Setting Bounds to the Fields and the Origin of Property 12 Book2 Ch4 The First Assembly of the Estates of Penguinia 13 Book2 Ch5 The Marriage of Kraken and Orberosia 14 Book2 Ch6 The Dragon of Alca 15 Book2 Ch7 The Dragon of Alca (Continuation) 16 Book2 Ch8 The Dragon of Alca (Continuation) 17 Book2 Ch9 The Dragon of Alca (Continuation) 18 Book2 Ch10 The Dragon of Alca (Continuation) 19 Book2 Ch11 The Dragon of Alca (Continuation) 20 Book2 Ch12 The Dragon of Alca (Continuation) 21 Book2 Ch13 The Dragon of Alca (Continuation and End) 22 Book3 Ch1 Brian the Good and Queen Glamorgan 23 Book3 Ch2 Draco the Great (Translation of the the Relics of St. Orberosia) 24 Book3 Ch3 Queen Crucha 25 Book3 Ch4 Letters: Johannes Talpa 26 Book3 Ch5 The Primitives of Penguin Painting 27 Book3 Ch6 Marbodius 28 Book3 Ch7 Signs in the Moon 29 Book4 Ch1 Modern Times: Trinco 30 Book4 Ch2 Trinco 31 Book4 Ch3 The Journey of Doctor Obnubile 32 Book5 Ch1 The Reverend Fathers Agaric and Cornemuse 33 Book5 Ch2 Prince Crucho 34 Book5 Ch3 The Cabal 35 Book5 Ch4 Viscountess Olive 36 Book5 Ch5 The Prince des Boscenos 37 Book5 Ch6 The Emiral’s Fall 38 Book5 Ch7 Conclusion 39 Book6 Ch1 General Greatauk, Duke of Skull 40 Book6 Ch2 Pyrot 41 Book6 Ch3 Count de Maubec de la Dentulynx 42 Book6 Ch4 Columban 43 Book6 Ch5 The Reverand Fathers Agaric and Cornemuse 44 Book6 Ch6 The Seven Hundred Pyrotists 45 Book6 Ch7 Bidault-Coquille and Maniflore, The Socialists 46 Book6 Ch8 The Columban Trial 47 Book6 Ch9 Father Douillard 48 Book6 Ch10 Mr. Justice Chaussepied 49 Book6 Ch11 Conclusion 50 Book7 Ch1 Madame Clarence’s Drawing Room 51 Book7 Ch2 The Charity of Saint Orberosia 52 Book7 Ch3 Hippolyte Ceres 53 Book7 Ch4 A Politician’s Marriage 54 Book7 Ch5 The Visire Cabinet 55 Book7 Ch6 The Sofa of the Favourite 56 Book7 Ch7 The First Consequences 57 Book7 Ch8 Further Consequences 58 Book7 Ch9 The Final Consequences 59 Book8 The Endless History and Section One 60 Book8 Section 2 61 Book8 Section 3 62 Book8 Section 4 Approx.
