Originally published clandestinely in Paris in 1942 by the resistance group Les Editions de minuit, the text details the harrowing conditions under which French writers operated during the German occupation. The preface illuminates the extreme risks undertaken by the resistance members to produce and circulate literary works as a form of defiance against the oppressive silence imposed upon France during the war. It pays tribute to Saint-Pol-Roux and chronicles the history of this significant literary masterpiece, highlighting the bravery of the individuals involved in its illicit publication. This edition includes scholarly notes and vocabulary, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers exploring the intersection of literature and historical resistance movements.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/le-silence-de-la-mer-vercors/422619/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/le-silence-de-la-mer-vercors/422619.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Quinn

I942 by an underground organisationcalling itself Les Editions de minuit,which had come intobeing to publish the works of those French writers whowere denied every other means of self-expression underthe German occupation.  \nAll the people connected with this organisation didtheir part in the publication and circulation of this story,and of other works that reached them by the same secretand dangerous route,at the risk of their lives.Theauthor;the patriot who supplied the money,the machines,and,even more surprisingly,the paper;the compositorsand the women who sewed the sheets together to make abook,with the enemy police and soldiers tramping pastabove them—all of them knew that their lives wereforfeit if their activities were discovered.  \nThey accepted such risks as part of the work of themovement of resistance,as part of the effort to break thedreadful silence under which France had lain submergedever since her occupation by the enemy.In the case ofLe Silence de la mer they had also the satisfaction of addingto their country's literature one of its shorter master-pieces.The pseudonym of“Vercors”the name of oneof the chief centres of armed French resistance,coveredthe identity of Jean Bruller,a well-known book illus-trator,still in his early thirties,who played a leading partin the organisation and activities of Lus Editions de minuit.  \nA la mémoire de
