«Le Silence de la mer» is the novel by Vercors (Jean Bruller), published by Magnard in paperback (198 pages, in French).
During the German occupation of France, a German officer is billeted in the home of an old man and his niece. Although he is courteous, the two French people respond with absolute silence, turned into a form of passive resistance. The novel reflects on coexistence with the occupier, collaboration, and dignity in wartime.
The work appeared clandestinely in 1942, in the midst of the occupation; this Magnard edition includes the complete text and belongs to the Classiques & Contemporains collection.
School edition for secondary students (collège and lycée) interested in a classic of the French Resistance.
Jean Marcel Adolphe Bruller was a French writer and illustrator who co-founded the publishing company Les Éditions de Minuit with Pierre de Lescure.
