Description

Jean Giono's Occupation Journal offers a unique glimpse into life in collaborationist France during the Second World War. Written by one of France's greatest writers, this journal reveals the inner workings of a literary mind during a country's darkest hour. Giono's thoughts on art and literature, observations of life, and interactions with the Vichy regime are recorded here in a fascinating historical document. His fierce independence of thought and novelistic attention to character and dialogue make this journal a compelling read. A rare window into French literature's most voracious and critical mind, Occupation Journal is a valuable record of one writer's experiences during a pivotal period in history.
