About the book
"The Revolt of the Angels" by Anatole France is a novel published in 1914. It retells the war in Heaven, following Arcade, a guardian angel who discovers that God may be a false ruler. Disillusioned, he abandons his charge and gathers fallen angels to build an army of rebellion. They seek Lucifer's leadership to overthrow their tyrannical creator. But the story explores a troubling question: does every successful revolution merely replace one oppressor with another?
