La luna se ha puesto

In this masterful tale set in Norway during World War II, Steinbeck explores the effects of invasion on both the conquered and the conquerors. As he delves into the emotions of the German commander and the Norwegian traitor, and depicts the spirited patriotism of the Norwegian underground, Steinbeck uncovers profound, often unsettling truths about war'and about human nature. Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck's self-described 'celebration of the durability of democracy' had an extraordinary impact as Allied propaganda in Nazi-occupied Europe. Despite Axis efforts to suppress it (in Fascist Italy, mere possession of the book was punishable by death), The Moon is Down was secretly translated into French, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, Swedish, German, Italian and Russian; hundreds of thousands of copies circulated throughout Europe, making it by far the most popular piece of propaganda under the occupation. Few literary works of our time have demonstrated so triumphantly the power of ideas in the face of cold steel and brute force. This edition features an introduction by Donald V. Coers.

  • "The Moon is Down chronicles the experiences of fascistic invaders - a thinly veiled reference to Nazis - who have occupied a small coal mining town in Northern Europe. The Moon is Down by John Steinbeck is a relatively unknown piece of literature that was widely circulated by political activists and rebels during many occupations; examples include Nazi-occupied France as well as the Soviet Union amongst a slew of other European nations. The novella is short in stature at a slight 115 pages in the 1973 Bantam edition and encompasses many themes, such as the relationship between oppressors and the oppressed, the depth and demands of the military-industrial complex, and the iron will of the human spirit against slavery and repression."@en

  • "When Germans occupy a small Scandinavian town, their commander, Colonel Lanser, tries to establish cordial relations with the Mayor and townspeople. But the people are unappeasable and decide to demoralise the invading soldiers with a campaign of ostracism."@en
  • "Het verzet van de bevolking tegen dwang en verraad in een door de Duitsers bezet dorp ergens in Europa."
  • "WITHOUT WARNING THE NAZIS INVADED THE TOWN. THEY SEIZED THE MAYOR'S HOME AS THEIR HEADQUARTERS; THEY RATIONED THE FOOD; THEY PUBLICLY SHOT THE FIRST MEN WHO REBELLED AGAINST THEIR OPPRESSION. THEY WERE THE CONQUERORS. BUT THE HATRED WAS DEEP IN THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE. THEIR COLD SULLEN SILENCE FELL LIKE BLACK SNOW, CHILLING THE SOLDIERS AND FILLING THEM WITH FEAR. AND AS THE CONQUERORS' NERVES WORE THIN, THEY SHOT AT BLACK SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT."@en
  • "This seems a simple -- almost an obvious book -- until its overtones and undertones begin to do their deadly work. Then one realizes that, compact in less than 200 pages, is the story of what is happening to the conquerors and the conquered the world over, today. The yeast of freedom, of democracy, the soul of unconquerable man, is working to destroy those who deny freedom. No country is named -- but it might be Norway. No person nor persons are named -- but their types are truly drawn. Mayor Orden stands as a hero with none of the trappings of heroism. Curseling, the traitor, epitomizes the Quislings of the world. And the story? A tale of the unnamed men and women who are breaking the morale of the conquering beast with silence, hate, mass resentment, and the use of weapons forged by imagination and passion while the weapons of the enemy become powerless to break their strength, their unity of anger. An extraordinary achievement."@en

  • ""In this remarkable novel of human courage and defiance, Steinbeck celebrates democracy and the power of the individual against tyranny. A North European country has been invaded. In one small town the people's initial confusion crystallizes into a silent, sullen anger that gradually undermines the conquerors until they too come to know what fear means. The Moon is Down had extraordinary impact as Allied propaganda in Nazi-occupied Europe. Despite Axis attempts to suppress it (in Fascist Italy, mere possession of a copy of the book was punishable by death) thousands of copies circulated throughout Europe, bearing witness to the power of ideas in the face of terror and brutality." -- BOOK COVER."
