About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Gods are Athirst by Anatole France. (Translated by Mrs. Wilfrid (Emilie) Jackson.) Read in English by Nicholas Clifford; bala; Sarah H.; KHand; jeandelfrio; Joseph Tabler; Anna Simon; Khaghbboommm; Lynne Thompson; Tony Oliva; David Lawrence; Sandra Schmit; J. McDougall The Gods Are Athirst (French: Les dieux ont soif, also translated as The Gods Are Thirsty or The Gods Will Have Blood) is a 1912 novel by Anatole France. The story follows the young Parisian painter Évariste Gamelin, who rises speedily from his humble beginnings to a member of the Revolutionary Tribunal in the second and third year of the French Revolution. In brilliant prose, Anatole France describes how Évariste's idealism turns into fanaticism, and he allows more and more heads to roll and blood to flow, placing himself and those he loves into ever greater danger. - Summary by Wikipedia and Carolin
