Anatole France (French: [anat?l f??~s]; born François-Anatole Thibault, [fr?~swa anat?l tibo]; 16 April 1844 – 12 October 1924) was a French poet, journalist, and novelist with several best-sellers.
Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters.
He was a member of the Académie française, and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterized as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace, and a true Gallic temperament".France is also widely believed to be the model for narrator Marcel's literary idol Bergotte in Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time.
