Anatole France

.

TRUE to her word, Madame Bergeret quitted the conjugal roof and betook herself to the house of her mother, the widow Pouilly.As the time for her departure drew near, she had half a mind not to go, and with a little coaxing would have consented to forget the past and resume the old life with her husband, at the same time vaguely despising M. Bergeret as the injured party.

MONSIEUR BERGERET was seated at table taking his frugal evening meal. Riquet lay at his feet on a tapestry cushion. Riquet had a religious soul; he rendered divine honours to mankind. He regarded his master as very good and very great. But it was chiefly when he saw him at table that he realized the sovereign greatness and goodness of Monsieur Bergeret.

A FEW Frenchmen, united in friendship, who were spending the spring in Rome, were wont to meet amid the ruins of the disinterred Forum. They were Joséphin Leclerc, an Embassy Attaché on leave; M. Goubin, licencie es lettres, an annotator; Nicole Langelier, of the old Parisian family of the Langeliers, printers and classical scholars; Jean Boilly, a civil engineer, and Hippolyte Dufresne, a man of leisure, and a lover of the fine arts.

Sie sind wieder da.Viele Aonen nach dem ersten Fall Satans macht sich ein neues Heer von Engeln auf, um gegen den Gott des Alten Testaments zu rebellieren - diesmal mit eher ungewohnlichen Waffen.Ein neuer Krieg steht bevor, der auch die Schopfung zu gefahrden droht. Doch die Macht und Anziehungskraft der Menschentochter ist groer als vermutet und sorgt fur allerlei Wirrungen. Im frivolen Paris des fruhen 20. Jahrhunderts kommt es zu amourosen Eskapaden und mehrmals sogar zum blanken Verbrechen.Wie die Welt, in der wir leben, wirklich zur besten aller Welten werden kann, offenbart sich erst bei Satans glamourosem Auftritt.Anatole France (1844 - 1924) war ein bekannter franzosischer Schriftsteller und Literaturnobelpreistrager. International bekannt wurden seine Romane Die Insel der Pinguine und Thais.In kirchlichen Kreisen jedoch munkelte man, er sei mit dem Teufel im Bunde; aus diesem Grund setzte der Vatikan sein Gesamtwerk auf die Liste der verbotenen Bucher.In seinem Roman Aufruhr der Engel kommen Freunde der dunklen Machte und der kunstvollen Satire gleichermaen auf ihre Kosten.

The Gods Are Athirst (1912) is Nobel laureate Anatole Frances captivating fictional reimagining of the bloody events of the French Revolution. Gamelin, a young idealistic painter who works with his local government in Pont-Neuf finds himself at the epicentre of the Terror when he is appointed as a juror on the Revolutionary Tribunal. Swept through a procession of unjust trials, Gamelin must reckon with his actions as he determines the fates of those closest to him. As he turns drunk with power and vengeance, Gamelins actions set forth a violent and horrific chain of events that end only with blood. The Gods Are Athirst is a brilliant but horrifying depiction of how fear and a warped sense of justice only serve to bring chaos. A masterpiece in its own right, The Gods Are Athirst is an essential read for anyone interested in French history or looking for a gripping tale of the fall of the man and the cost of vengeance.
