En el relato, la cortesana Thaïs inspira erotismo y lujuria desenfrenada en la población, pero el asceta Pafnucio decide dejar el desierto en donde vivía su vida de anacoreta, a efectos de redimir a esa mujer y transformarla en una súbdita dedicada totalmente a la adoración de Dios. En su desarrollo la novela presenta la evolución de los personajes y reflexiona sobre la vida, el placer, la muerte, la trascendencia y la religiosidad. La transformación de los personajes hace de esta obra una metáfora acerca de lo real y de lo imaginario, del mundo de lo aparente, de lo superficial; y un mundo profundo, ligado a las mayores verdades. Paphnutius is a Christian monk living a secluded life in 4th century Egypt. He is regarded as one of the most holy of the hermits living in the area, and the demons that arrive each night are unable to enter his shack. One day as he is meditating on his sins, he remembers his lust for Thais, a beautiful actress he saw as a young man in Alexandria. He is inspired (either by God or by the devil) to go to the city and convince her to enter a nunnery and devote the rest of her life to God. Throughout his quest, his faith is tested by many different philosophers and sceptics who all have an opinion on the Christian faith. Thais was later granted sainthood. This short novel was divided into three sections. I thought the first section was very interesting, the second section was tedious, and the third section was a mix of the first two. I found quite a few quotes that stood out in one way or another, and I liked that the novel could be interpreted in multiple different ways. It would definitely generate a lot of discussion. En esta novela, Anatole France nos recrea la historia de Thaïs, una irresistible cortesana que logró un enorme poder gracias a la atracción poderosísima que su cuerpo perfecto y su voz encantadora, lograban ejercer sobre todos los hombres y un joven monje que no puede evitar tan grande tentación. Thaïs es hermosa y sensualidad. Pafnucio, un monje que se obsesiona desde que la ve por vez primera y decide que sacará a Thaïs de su vida de pecado y la convertirá en una mujer piadosa. Sin embargo, todos los hombres de Alejandría saben el poder que ejerce Thaïs sobre ellos, el embrujo en que caen. Cuando Pafnucio le pregunta a su amigo Nicias, quién es Thaïs, Nicias le dice: nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In what some critics and fans regard as Anatole France's most accomplished novel, the writer revisits the classic struggle between spiritual faith and sensual pleasures. The story revolves around Thais, a renowned entertainer and confirmed hedonist, and Paphnutius, a zealous prophet who undertakes an arduous journey with the aim of saving Thais' soul and setting her on a path toward righteousness -- only to find his own faith shaken to the core.
