En esta parodia de la historia de la civilización, Anatole France elige a los pingüinos como protagonistas, caricaturizando a la burguesía de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX. La trama comienza con el hilarante bautizo erróneo de los pingüinos árticos por San Maël. A partir de ahí, France describe los aspectos más destacados de la historia humana, mezclando amor y guerra, poder absoluto y revolución, religión y especulación financiera, incluso insinuando la guerra nuclear y denunciando la globalización. Esta obra, heredera de Rabelais y Swift, anticipa a Orwell y ofrece una lectura amarga pero llena de humor negro, escrita para los lectores de hoy.
Anatole France was a French poet, journalist, and novelist with several best-sellers. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters. He was a member of the Académie Française, and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterized as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace, and a true Gallic temperament".
