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.
