Obtain Immediately Les Dieux Ont Soif Articulated By Anatole France Supplied As Online Book

you liked A Tale of Two Cities and enjoy reading on that mess we call the French Revolution, you might enjoy this echo of Dickens by Anatole France.
Considering its publication in, I expected it to be stuffier and more dated, but overall, it moved rather well, The plot is predictable and the emotions are predictably played, but qu'expectezvous

The focus here is on the ruin of one young Revolutionary fanatic named Gamelin who is given a position of power magistrate on the Revolutionary Tribunal.
From here, in the name of the cause and Robespierre or the dead Marat, if you will, he did a lot of Nerolike thumbs down on men, women, and children during the time of the Terror.
Off they went to the guillotine,

Eventually Gamelin becomes like any supporter of an extreme cause or person blind, No amount of logic or reason or empathy can help him see the error of his ways, His man and his cause is doggedly right, no matter what, At a key juncture, one victim warns another: "Above all, do not appeal to the magistrates, They are not men, they are things: you cannot explain yourself to things, "

It's voices like that which ring down through the decades, We have among us still in this world "things" beyond reason, Save your breath and hope they will, as Robespierre and Friends did, bury themselves in time, یا خدایان میخواهند جلوی شر را بگیرند ولی قادر نیستند یا میتوانند ولی نمیخواهند یا نه میتوانند و نه میخواهند یا هم میخواهند و هم میتوانند. اگر میتوانند ولی نمیخواهند بدخواهند. اگر نه میتوانند و نه میخواهند ناتوان و بدخواهند. اگر هم میتوانند و هم میخواهند پس دیگر منتظر چه هستند پدر روحانی I really enjoyed the book despite a not so perfectly translated version I had, It is meticulously detailed in describing people, their characteristics, opinions and behavior and also in describing locations, Though I find some statements a bit pretentious and not natural for that specific situation,

The similarity of people and the incidents throughout the time and place is unbelievable, While devouring every sentence, I was thinking of some people I knew who leaved in another country in another time, definitely far enough from French revolution People who could be retrieved from the lines of Les dieux ont soif.


The odd and unique point is I dont think I ever despised or could despise any protagonist more than Gamelin! Yet I couldnt stop reading! Well done France!
Introduction

The Gods Will Have Blood

Notes Oh, I liked this.
I really, really liked this, Nobel Prize winner Anatole France wrote this novel about the bloodiest years of the French Revolution approximatelyas seen through the eyes of ordinary citizens, One is a struggling painter and patriot named Evariste Gamelin, One is a former aristocrat and tax collector named Maurice Brotteaux who lives in the attic above Gamelin, One is virtuous and one is evil, One is kind and one is bloodthirsty, But who is who may surprise you,

Alas, this is not the easiest book to describe, There are parts that are bedroom farce, there are parts that are philosophical treatise, there are parts that are historical fiction, All of it is readable, powerful and engaging, As the shadow of the Terror extends over the main characters, the story gets difficult to read yet impossible to put down, One scene near the end absolutely broke my heart, Many parts of the book left me with a lot to chew on, including the vital message that those who have tasked themselves with rooting out the conspiracies against them will never retire.
This is quite simply the most accessible philosophical novel I've ever read, I also learned all kinds of random crazy facts about the Reign of Terror did you know that prostitutes were put to death as enemies of the people

My only complaint is about the Les dieux ont soif's supplementary materials.
The index provided is good but not thorough enough, Unless you are really familiar with this period of French history, expect to be a little lost, The Wikipedia article "A Timeline of the French Revolution" should help considerably, Ideally, the book should have included something like this, Otherwise, the translation is good and the prose feels very contemporary, This was a little hard to find but I really recommend it, Les dieux ont soif The Gods Are Athirst The Gods Are Thirsty The Gods Will Have Blood, Anatole France

The Gods Will Have Blood is anovel by Anatole France.
It is a fictional story set during the French Revolution,

The story of the infernal rise of Evariste Gamelin, a young Parisian painter, involved in the section for his neighborhood of PontNeuf, The Gods Will Have Blood describes the dark years of the Reign of Terror in Paris, from Year II to Year III.
Fiercely Jacobin, Marat and Robespierre's most faithful adherent, Évariste Gamelin soon becomes a juror on the Revolutionary Tribunal,

The long, blind train of speedy trials drags this idealist into a madness that cuts off the heads of his nearest and dearest, and hastens his own fall as well as that of his mentor Robespierre in the aftermath of the Thermidorian Reaction.


His love affair with the young watercolorseller Élodie Blaise heightens the terrible contrast between the butcherintraining and the man who shows himself to be quite ordinary in his daily life.

تاریخ بهنگام رسانی هجری خورشیدی هجری خورشیدی ا, شربیانی 'The Gods Will Have Blood' distinguishes itself from other novels of French Revolution I've read by its fantastic level of cynicism, France's writing reveals the bitter ironies of the Terror, marshalling a fascinating cast of characters, At the centre of the narrative is Gamelin, an idealistic young artist who lives in an attic with his mother, He becomes part of the Revolutionary Tribunal and, as he sees it, fights to preserve the Revolution by sending traitors to their death, The major figures of the time, notably Robespierre, cast a strong shadow over the book, but rarely intrude directly, Indeed, it is often demonstrated that characters are concerned with the daily matter of earning a living or seducing a conquest, not politics, The closeness and contrast between mundane life and sudden, shocking condemnation to death is repeatedly, powerfully demonstrated, The arbitrary nature of Terror is a major theme,

I feel compelled to compare this novel with 'Les Misérables', which is deeply idealistic and in places idealises the sacrifice of life for abstract principles, Naturally it bears noting that events in Les Mis begin more than twenty years after the Terror, which took place from, Although this is something of an overgeneralisation, Hugo tends to characterise social problems as institutional, requiring reform of structures, France appears uninterested in such analysis, rather he dwells on the personal level of struggle to survive, The characters in 'The Gods Have Blood' seem less aware of the institutions binding their actions than those of 'Les Mis', On the other hand, France's characters are more human and less absolute, Their morals are definitely looser, too, which both rings true and adds piquancy, I loved the female characters energy and lack of tedious saintliness,

Many small moments in 'The Gods Will Have Blood' stand out as striking, Julie's fondness for dressing up in men's clothing, The artists' gallivant out to the countryside, seemingly idyllic until one member of the party jokingly calls the other by the name of a recently disgraced politician, The angry tirades of Athénaïs the babyfaced prostitute, The death of Citizen Trubert, who absentmindedly said he was very well whilst coughing up blood, The prisoners playing at 'Revolutionary Tribunal', not only rehearsing their likely fate on Earth but also their punishments in Hell,

My favourite moment, though, is probably when the atheist epicurean Brotteaux invites a homeless priest to stay with him, Brotteaux refuses the priest's thanks, protesting that his kindness stems from, 'that egotism which inspires all men's acts of generosity and selfsacrifice' and also because, 'I've nothing better to do'.
The friendly discussion between the two apparent philosophical opposites is fascinating, There and elsewhere, France rather subversively presents a determinedly cynical man who believes in nothing as seemingly the wisest character in the book, This is very interesting contrast to Hugo, whose avowedly cynical character Grantaire is described as a weak drunkard, who only achieves greatness by embracing death for an ideal love, if not liberty.
Whilst Brotteaux by no means benefits from his cleareyed view of the Terror, France definitely paints him as admirable, He and Gamelin are contrasted powerfully by way of their thoughts and actions, although their eventual fates are identical,

I think that France has captured a perspective on the final phase of the French Revolution that I've not read before, 'The Gods Will Have Blood' is a brilliantly written novel, although the introduction claims it loses quite a bit in translation, I might try and get hold of a copy in French, For quite a short book, it feels very substantial, It'll stay in my mind, of that I'm sure, .
