It is April 1793 and the final power struggle of the French
Revolution is taking hold: the aristocrats are dead and the poor
are fighting for bread in the streets. In a Paris swept by fear and
hunger lives Gamelin, a revolutionary young artist appointed
magistrate, and given the power of life and death over the citizens
of France. But his intense idealism and unbridled single-mindedness
drive him inexorably towards catastrophe. Published in 1912, The
Gods Will Have Blood is a breathtaking story of the dangers of
fanaticism, while its depiction of the violence and devastation of
the Reign of Terror is strangely prophetic of the sweeping
political changes in Russia and across Europe.
