Combat Writings

"The Silence of the Sea and other stories" were written and circulated during the Second World War by Vercors (writer resistant name). These writings aim to educate and not to shock the French player, numb with imagière propaganda of Marshal Petain, politeness (in the beginning) of the German occupation troops. With great modesty, the author in a concise style led us to realize the horror of the occupation, lies, racist hate twilight of freedom.

Founder of the "Editions de Minuit" Vercors contribute to the awakening of resistant combat. The soul of the revolt and honorary salutary breath of resistance in these writings and gives a deeper meaning to these stories.

This classic book is listed as a witness to the victory of the spirit of liberty against that of death.

I also recommend to the reader "and other new collaborator" of Aragon, writings, published and distributed clandestinely during the occupation, that animated the spirit of the Resistance, as well as "The Curious defeat" Bloch.
