"Thais" by Anatole France is a novel published in 1890. Based on the life of a legendary 4th-century saint, it tells the story of Paphnuce, an ascetic hermit who travels to Alexandria to convert Thais, a beautiful libertine he once knew. He succeeds in bringing her to Christianity, but their spiritual journey takes an unexpected turn as he becomes haunted by her former life while she finds faith. A tale of devotion,
temptation, and the blurred lines between salvation and desire. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
