Encouraged to write 33 Days by his dear friend, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of The Little Prince, Werth finished the manuscript while in hiding in the Jura mountains. Saint-Exupery smuggled the manuscript out of Nazi-occupied France, wrote an introduction to the work and arranged for its publication in the United States by Brentanos. But the publication never came to pass, and Werth's manuscript would disappear for more than fifty years until the first French edition, in 1992. It has since become required reading in French schools. This, the first-ever English language translation of 33 Days, includes Saint-Exupery's original introduction for the book, long thought to be lost." -- Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Werth, LeÌon, $d 1878-1955. 650 0 $a Authors, French $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Personal narratives, French. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z France. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Military / World War II. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / France. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Authors, French $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 7 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Personal narratives, French. 650 7 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z France. 700 1 $a Saint-ExupeÌry, Antoine de, $d 1900-1944, $e author of foreword. 830 0 $a Neversink library. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180131030016.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6E3D5E2E55EF11E58B7A61D1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
