April 1793: the French Revolution is four years old and the Committee of Public Safety under Robespierre fi nds threats to the new republic at home and abroad. When Gamelin, an ambitious and idealistic young magistrate, joins a group of old friends for a picnic outside Paris, the ties of love and affection can take the strain. But how strong will they prove when Gamelin is given power over life and death, and the Nation plunges from high idealism to mob rule andstate terror? 
Private jealousies and public fears, old alliances and new ideologies, panic legislation and political correctness all combine in this thrilling adaptation of Anatole France’s 1912 novel Les Dieux ont soif.

    You bit me,And when you lost your tooth,You blamed me.I guess self-awarenessIs for people with caninesInstead of fangs.S. V. Segal’s debut poetry compilation, (Un)Tethered, pulls us into moments of conflict—both internal and external—and self-reflection as it explores universal themes of love, loss, death, growth, fear, and self-realization. But despite the timelessness of these themes, the poems are also distinctively Segal’s, conveying their unique experiences, depth of feeling, and struggles with identity and relationships. A striking collection that will embed in your memory.
