Excerpt from When the Gods LaughedN hills much higher than those above Boulogne the Gods sit whispering, cheek to jowl, as they mould men's destinies.Sometimes they lift a stripling beside them, cosset him, and let him stay. But more often when stalwart youths come before them-some with the rippling muscles of the pentathlon, some with books under their arms, others through the grime on whose cheeks beads of sweat trickle the Gods laugh quietly behind their hands, like well bred Gods, and cast them into the Melting Pot, whence few emerge.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
