Description
Last Times by Victor Serge is a gripping novel based on the author's firsthand experience of the Nazi occupation of France. In 1940, Serge joined the chaotic mass exodus south to the unoccupied zone on foot with nothing but his manuscripts, only to find himself trapped in Marseille under the Vichy government. The book offers a vivid account of life in wartime Marseille, including its criminal underground and the growing resistance movement. Serge's narrative is set against the backdrop of desperate refugees competing for the last visa and berth on ships to escape to America. This fast-moving novel provides a unique perspective on one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history. With its gripping storyline and vivid portrayal of life under occupation, Last Times is a compelling read for anyone interested in historical fiction and the experiences of those who lived through World War II.
