Penguin Island by Anatole France
Publisher: eBooks@Adelaide 2009
ISBN/ASIN: B000NX6BU2
Anatole France spares no one in this satire about the birth, life and death of the Penguin empire. Starting from the baptism of the Penguins by St. Mael (and the associated debates in Heaven about the divine status of penguins) through the founding and subsequent fall of the empire, this story pokes fun at the Church, military, courts and every political movement known to man.
