196876274London: Collins 1968. Presumed First U.K. Edition First printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 286 2 pages. Vercors pseudonym of Jean Marcel Bruller born Feb. 26 1902 Paris France-died June 10 1991 Paris French novelist and artist-engraver who wrote Le Silence de la mer 1941; The Silence of the Sea a patriotic tale of self-deception and of the triumph of passive resistance over evil. The novella was published clandestinely in Nazi-occupied Paris and served to rally a spirit of French defiance. Bruller was trained at the École Alsacienne and worked as a graphic artist and engraver until he was drafted into the French army after the outbreak of World War II. While recovering from a broken leg he joined the Resistance taking the nom de guerre Vercors from the geographic region of that name. In 1941 he cofounded Éditions de Minuit an underground press devoted to boosting morale among the French and maintaining a literary resistance movement. Thousands of copies of Le Silence de la mer the first book published by the press circulated throughout occupied France. The story of the French intellectual resistance has so far been shrouded in silence as were its activities during the war. The most audacious of these activities was the founding of the Editions de Minuit. In this unique Resistance venture one man played four leading roles. Desvignes founder of the press Jean Bruller artist and engraver Vercors an author and Drieu a printer--that man was Jean Marcel Bruller. Les Éditions de Minuit is a French publishing house which still publishes today. Les Éditions de Minuit was founded by Jean Bruller and Pierre de Lescure in 1941 during the German occupation of northern France . The media and publishing were controlled and censored by the Nazi s. Les Éditions de Minuit was started to circumvent the censorship and so was an underground publisher until the liberation of Paris on 25 August 1944. Le Silence de la mer by co-founder Bruller who used the pseudonym Vercors was the first book published 1942. Distribution was by being passed from person to person. Collins hardcover
