Summary
Anatole France: Bakery; The gods are thirsty
This selection from France's works presents us with a smiling and skeptical Jeronimo Coignard and his antipode, gravely serious and fanatical Evarist Gamelin. They both belong to the 18th century, but while the first is a descendant of the encyclopedist, the second is the child of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Issuing the supposed memories of the bookseller Jacob Ménetrier, who, while turning a spit in his father's oven, listened to the wise teachings of the Reverend Coignard, then together with him went to the service of the Marquis, France boldly spoke about religion in the colorful of their adventures, morals, regime and social order of his time.
In the novel The Gods are Thirsty the theme is the French Revolution in its bloodiest period, the period of Robespierre's reign of terror. A poor and unknown painter, Evarist Gamelin, a supporter of the revolution and revolutionary ideas, but an ordinary man who did not measure up to the gigantic events he was faced with, little by little he turns almost into a neman who calmly sends his friends of yesterday to the guillotine. According to his own words, France wanted to give Gamelin's character the character of an inquisitor who always remains the same, only changing his clothes.
