The Gods Are Athirst is a novel by French writer Anatole France, published in 1912. The story takes place during the French Revolution and follows Évariste Gamelin, an idealistic painter who becomes a member of a revolutionary tribunal. As the Terror intensifies, Gamelin becomes embroiled in a spiral of violence and paranoia, leading him to question his own beliefs and the nature of the revolution. The novel explores themes such as justice, morality, politics, and the human condition in times of social upheaval.
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. He was a member of the Académie Française, and won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterized as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace, and a true Gallic temperament".
