Deuxième série" by Anatole France is a collection of literary essays written in the late 19th century.

The author shares personal anecdotes and philosophical musings, discussing different writers and their significance, which gives readers insight into the literary landscape of that era. The opening of this volume sets the tone with a preface expressing gratitude for the reception of his previous essays. France reflects on the nature of contradictions in thought and feeling, acknowledging the impossibility of aligning personal maxims with emotional experiences. He introduces the complexity of understanding modern literature, particularly the challenges posed by mysticism and the symbolic school.
