The White Stone
1905
The White Stone, published in 1905 by Anatole France, is a novel set among the ruins of Rome, focusing on a group of French expatriates. Through their discussions about historical monuments and the essence of Roman culture, the characters explore themes of friendship, history, and the tension between past grandeur and present decay. The book serves as a counterpoint to contemporary societal issues, including a response to the 'yellow peril' sentiment, framing it instead as a 'white peril' narrative that engages with the rise of socialism.
