Silence of the Sea / Le Silence de la Mer by Cyril Connelly
This first bilingual edition of France's most enduring wartime novel introduces Vercors's famous tale to a generation without personal experience of World War II who may not be able to read it in its original language. Now available in paperback, readers are assisted with a historical and literary introduction, explanatory notes, a glossary of French terms and a select bibliography.
Not only a distinguished piece of fiction but also a brilliant piece of reporting on French resistance' Life'Saying something new about such a work was the central challenge faced by Brown and Stokes. To my surprise, they have succeeded in meeting this challenge. * French Review *
James W. Brown is Professor of French at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Lawrence D. Stokes is Professor of History, Dalhousie University, Canada. Cyril Connelly is a translator. His translation work also includes The Ubu Plays.
