Ecrits d'Angleterre by Albert Cohen
On sait que, des juin 1940, Albert Cohen rejoignit l'Angleterre pour continuer la lutte contre l'Allemagne nazie. Installe a Londres, il deviendra, en 1945, conseiller juridique du Comite intergouvernemental pour les refugies. Le present volume reunit trois textes de cette periode: Angleterre, un hymne superbe a la grandeur de ce pays qui a porte de facon admirable l'esprit de resistance durant les annees de guerre Churchill d'Angleterre, portrait inspire et lyrique du vieux lion et des annees de combat le texte integral d'une conference prononcee a Geneve en janvier 1949 sur L'Organisation internationale pour les refugies et la protection juridique et politique. Magnifiques textes litteraires, dignes des meilleures pages romanesques d'Albert Cohen, ces Ecrits d'Angleterre etaient devenus introuvables depuis de nombreuses annees.
Abert Cohen was born on the island of Corfu in 1895. He emigrated to France at the age of five on a passport issued by the Ottoman Empire and was raised in Marseilles. Although he chose to become a Swiss citizen after completing law school in Geneva, he claims that his true homeland was the French language. Cohen's tragicomic novels Solal, Mangeclous, Belle de Seigneur, and Les Valeureux attempt to reconnect man to his lost humanity. Belle du Signeur was awarded the French Academy's Grand Prix du Roman. Bella Cohen was born in London on 1919. During WWII, she worked at the Free French Headquarters and with the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees. She met Albert Cohen in 1943 and shared a life with him from 1947 until his death in 1981. Her translation of Book of My Mother was a labor of love.
