The stories, first published under the title \u003ci\u003eContes d'Auxois\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eAuxois Stories\u003c\/i\u003e) by an underground press in 1943, were written to oppose Vichy-Nazi propaganda and to offer encouragement to civilians who felt resigned to defeat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether lining up to wait for food, tuning in to a forbidden radio broadcast, adapting to living side by side with German soldiers, or preparing for an act of sabotage, the characters in these stories must make choices in highly compromised circumstances on a daily basis. As the characters confront their own suffering and that of others, their actions inspire readers to consider the nature of heroism, the idea that people can share a common humanity with their enemies, and the possibility for individuals to find solidarity in an overwhelming, isolating world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e ﾉdith Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 160329502X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603295024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Language Association of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.43w x 0.47d","brand":"ﾉdith Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993672384767,"sku":"9781603295024","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf688628-19b2-43f6-80d9-4555ba2a7d48.jpg?v=1683325657","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/resistance-dith-thomas-9781603295024","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
