It is also a short story, worth a book, published as a book ... published clandestinely in occupied Paris in 1942, a beautiful story about the meaning and nuances of collaboration, about the nature of service to one's country even in the darkest times and when disillusioned by its leaders.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for a good recommendation - they don't come along every day<BR/><BR/>JoannaJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790888857849562408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-42419266563634884972008-03-05T18:33:00.000-05:002008-03-05T18:33:00.000-05:00Yes, it was published in 1938.
