le silence de la mer
Book • 1942
Written in 1941 and published secretly in German-occupied Paris in 1942, 'Le Silence de la mer' tells the story of an old man and his niece who show resistance against a German officer occupying their house by not speaking to him.
The officer, a former composer, is disillusioned by the Nazi propaganda and eventually leaves to fight on the Eastern Front.
The novella is a powerful allegory of non-violent resistance and a critique of the barbarity of the Nazi regime.
