Originally published in French as Les Dieux ont soif in 1912, Anatole France constructs a chilling and precise portrait of how revolutionary zeal curdles into fanaticism, sending innocent and guilty alike to the guillotine. Written with razor-sharp irony and dark psychological insight, the novel argues that idealism, unchecked by reason and compassion, becomes the most dangerous tyranny of all. France draws on the rich textures of Parisian life — its artists, philosophers, and ordinary citizens — to illustrate how an entire society can be consumed by its own righteous fury. A Nobel Prize-winning author at the height of his powers, France delivers a timeless cautionary tale about the human capacity for self-deception in the name of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956183970011,"sku":"2026200008039-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/12fab9a1-6d26-47dc-bfa6-ff87975ea97d.png?v=1783498812","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008039-secondhand-the-gods-will-have-blood","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
