阿纳托尔·法朗士（Anatole France，1844-1924）法国作家、文学评论家、社会活动家。本名蒂波·法朗索瓦，生于巴黎一书商家庭。“法朗士”是他父亲法朗索瓦的缩写，又因他爱祖国法兰西，故以祖国的名字作为自己的笔名。 少年时的法朗士经常替父亲编写书目、图书简介等，置身于书海之中。1873年出版第一本诗集《金色诗篇》，尔后以写文学批评文章成名；1881年出版《波纳尔之罪》，在文坛上声名大噪。以后他写了一系列的历史题材小说。由于受法国唯心主义历史学家列南的“人类永远也不能接近真理”的影响，他的这些作品均流露出历史循环论、社会改造徒劳无益论的悲观情绪，但更多的是充满对社会丑恶的嘲讽和抨击。法朗士的散文平如秋水，含蓄隽永，韵味深长.

Placing Bruno—both advanced philosopher and magician burned at the stake—in the Hermetic tradition, Yates's acclaimed study gives an overview not only of Renaissance humanism but of its interplay—and conflict—with magic and occult practices.
