Vivas, Eliseo | July 17, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book Rabelais, written by Anatole France. The reaction which started sometime ago against France may have gone too far, but it is not altogether unjustified. The writer could often be as superficial and innocuous as a meretricious peddler of popular inanities. The present book will convince any one who still doubts this truth. France calls it elementary scribbling, and though one does not want to agree with him, since his name commands respect, one is forced to.
