This book is the most sincere, down-to-earth account I have read concerning the events of the second world war. It's not aligned with any philosophical school, or even very concerned with style. It's just a story of human frailty and decency in occupied France that speaks to anyone on a basic level. Duras has written other memoirs including one about her role in the French resistance, but this is the least contrived and most memorable of all her books that I have seen. ( )

A collection of short stories written by a noted author who served in the Parisian resistance network, Richelieu. The most powerful story comes from a diary she kept while waiting for her husband, an arrested resistance member, to come home from the German concentration camps. Another deals with the raw emotions surrounding an interrogation of an informer by the author following the liberation of Paris. Written with stark honesty revealing the horror of life under German occupation. ( )

Rompre, avec un homme blssé qui rentre de captivité. Un récit haletant de guerre, de résistance.
Pas gai.
