Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard" by Anatole France is a novel published in 1881. This diary-based story follows an elderly scholar and book collector who pursues a rare manuscript, then encounters the granddaughter of a woman he once loved. When he discovers the young girl suffering under an abusive guardian, Bonnard must decide whether to remain a passive observer or commit what he ironically calls his "crime"—an act that reveals his true character.
