Penguin Island
Anatole France
A satirical novel first published in 1908, Penguin Island details the history of penguins and is written as a critique of human nature, and a satire on France's political history.
Morals, customs and laws are satirised within the context of the fictional land of Penguinia, where the animals were baptised erroneously by the myopic Abbot Maël. The book is ultimately concerned with the perfectibility of mankind. As soon as the Penguins are transformed into humans, they begin robbing and murdering each other.
By the end of the book, a thriving civilization is destroyed by terrorist bombs.
