Summary "Thais" by Anatole France is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in ancient Egypt and revolves around the life of the elegant and seductive actress Thais, exploring themes of sin, redemption, and the spiritual struggles of its characters, particularly that of Paphnutius, a fervent monk who seeks to save her soul from a life of debauchery. The opening of the novel introduces a desolate landscape filled with ascetics living near the Nile, leading lives of strict poverty and self-denial. Among them is Paphnutius, who reflects on his past temptation by the alluring actress Thais, who is known for corrupting the hearts of many men with her beauty and performances. As Paphnutius wrestles with memories of his youthful desires and the haunting guilt of his past, he resolves to travel to Alexandria with the intention of saving Thais from her sinful existence, illustrating his inner turmoil and mission to redeem not just himself but also the life of this captivating woman.
