Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Historians agree: the diary of Leon Werth (1878-1955) is one of the most precious--and readable--pieces of testimony ever written about life in France under Nazi occupation and the Vichy regime. Werth was a free-spirited and unclassifiable writer. He is the author of eleven novels, art and dance criticism, acerbic political reporting, and memorable personal essays. He was Jewish, and left Paris in June 1940 to hide out in his wife's country house inSaint-Amour, a small village in the Jura Mountains. His short memoir 33 Days recounts his struggle to get there. Deposition tells of daily life in the village, on nearby farms and towns, and finally back in Paris,where he draws the portrait of a Resistance network in his apartment and writes an eyewitness report of the insurrection that freed the city in August, 1944.From Saint-Amour, we see both the Resistance in the countryside, derailing troop trains, punishing notorious collaborators--and growing repression: arrests, torture, deportation, and executions. Above all, we see how Vichy and the Occupation affect the lives of farmers and villagers and how their often contradictoryattitudes evolve from 1940-1944. Werth's ear for dialogue and novelist's gift for creating characters animate the diary: in the markets and in town, we meet real French peasants and shopkeepers, railroadmen and the patronne of the cafe at the station, schoolteachers and gendarmes. They come off the page alive, and the countryside and villages come alive with them.With biting irony, Werth records, almost daily, what Vichy-German propaganda was saying on the radio and in the press. We follow the progress of the war as people did then, day by day. These entries make interesting, often amusing reading, a stark contrast with his gripping entries on thepersecution and deportation of the Jews. Deposition is a varied and complex piece of living history, and a pleasure to read. This diary is one of the most precious--and readable--pieces of testimony about life in Vichy France under Nazi occupation. Leon Werth was a Jewish writer who left Paris in June 1940 and hid out in a small village. We see how the Occupation affected life in the countryside and, after his return to Paris, the insurrection of August 1944.

Molti ricorderanno la celebre dedica de "Il Piccolo Principe" a Leon Werth, "il miglior amico che abbia al mondo". Dopo la misteriosa morte di Saint-Exupà ry, Leon Werth raccolse i suoi ricordi e documenti legati al periodo tra il 1940 e il 1944: lettere, fotografie, disegni, appunti sparsi degli ultimi quattro anni di vita dello scrittore. La sua passione per il volo, i percorsi letterari, l'eredità spirituale cui "Tonio" stava dando nuove forme in "Cittadella", ultima opera rimasta incompiuta. Nacque cosà questo volume, un viaggio a ritroso, un'immersione nel tessuto intimo della vita e dell'opera di Saint-Exupà ry, con cui Werth richiama all'esistenza lo scrittore francese attraverso i ricordi pià vivi della loro amicizia, tra frammenti alla deriva che ricostruiscono la storia di un vincolo di straordinaria intensità emotiva e intellettuale.
