"An utterly gripping story of a wealthy French lawyer being held prisoner by the Germans during World War II. The lawyer is chosen by the soldiers to die, but instead he makes a cowardly trade for his life--one that he will have to pay for even as a free man."@en
"Un scénario de 1944 oublié par son auteur. Une longue nouvelle dont le suspense est entretenu avec la maîtrise habituelle de l'écrivain. A noter que ce texte envoûtant n'est pas un fond-de-tiroir mais un dessus-de-panier."
"Een ter dood veroordeelde koopt met al zijn bezittingen zijn leven terug."
"The story of a man who buys his life in a moment of fear set in wartime occupied France."@en
"In the drive the gravel was obscured by weeds: a tree had fallen right across the way, and though someone had lopped the branches for firewood, the trunk still lay there to prove that for many seasonsno car had driven up to the house. Every step was familiar to the bearded man who came cautiously round every bend like a stranger."
"This recently recovered novel, written in 1944, focuses on Jean-Louis Charlot, who returns to his home after a four-year absence knowing that strangers live there and that one moment of panic has cost him the right to call it his own."@en
"The scene is occupied France, where three out of thirty hostages are to be shot by the Germans. The victims are chosen by lot and one of the unlucky ones, a rich lawyer, offers all his money to anyone who will take his place."@en
