Mother Of Pearl - Anatole France - (1923)

The novel centers around the character Lælius Lamia, an exiled Roman who reflects on his past while staying near the brilliantly crafted coast of Baiæ, where he encounters Pontius Pilate, his old friend and powerful former procurator of Judæa. As they reminisce about their lives, the narrative explores themes of power, friendship, and the complexities of governance, particularly in the context of their past interactions with the people of Jerusalem.

Anatole France  was a French poet, journalist, and novelist with several best-sellers. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters.
