Synopsis
Takes pleasure in announcing the publication in English of La Vie En Fleur new chapters of autobiography by Anatole France in its issues for October, November, and December. THE NEW YORK TIMES, IN ITS ISSUE FOR AUGUST 7th, SAID OF THE DIAL: THIS ISSUE OF THE DIAL (AUGUST) BE- SIDES BEING ONE OF THE BEST THAT THE EDITORS HAVE EVER BROUGHT TOGETHER, IS ALSO ONE OF THE FINEST BALANCED MAGAZINES ISSUED ON THIS SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC IN A LONG TIME. This is the fourth book of that autobiographical series begun many years ago, which has been called the greatest autobiography ever written. The previous volumes in the series are My Friend s Book, Little Pierre and Pierre Ncziere. La Vie en Fleur takes up again the life of Pierre Noziere (A natole France) and carries him into school and college and beyond, losing none of the charm of the early volumes and giving an immediate interest to the great ironists commentaries on wars, academies, and other institutions of our time. The publication of anything by Anatole France is always an event, but when it happens to be autobiography it is epoch making. Readers of the summer issues of THE DIAL will be happy to learn that further essays by G. Santayana will appear in October and November. One of these, on Dickens, will remind admirers of Mr. Santayana sphilosophical writings that he is one of the greatest of living critics. The essays, like those already published, are in Mr. Santayana sbest vein a joy to lovers of clarity and distinction in style and in thought.
