Faced with insurmountable difficulty caring for them alone, the family hire Sariette - a librarian and caretaker whose fastidiousness is scarcely rivalled. Help arrives from an unlikely source: an oblivious young member of the family named Maurice d'Esparvieu, who must solve the mysterious disappearances and restore peace to his household. A classic comedy of surprise twists and witty humor, The Revolt of the Angels is one of Anatole France's most overlooked yet likeable novels. N° de ref. del artículo 372
