    En lille kystby i Nordeuropa bliver så let som ingenting besat af en fremmed magt. Alle byens indbyggere forstår, at der ikke er noget at stille op mod den mægtige hær, der er underlagt oberst Lansers kommando. Lanser har gjort tjeneste under mange krige, og selvom han ikke møder direkte modstand blandt byens beboere, ved han inderst inde godt, at intet folk formår at forblive fredeligt og medgørligt, når dets frihed er blevet taget fra det med magt.John Steinbecks roman "Månen er skjult" udkom i 1942 i USA, og i løbet af krigen var der mange oversættelser af den i omløb i det besatte Europa. Selvom den invaderende magt aldrig bliver nævnt ved navn, er det tydeligt, at der er tale om Nazityskland, der ligesom oberst Lansers hær formåede at besætte mange europæiske lande uden at møde væbnet modstand, men som ligesom Lanser fandt ud af, at selv de fredeligste folk før eller siden vil slå igen mod overmagten.John Steinbeck (1902-1968) var en amerikansk forfatter, der skrev et væld af noveller og romaner, der er blevet oversat til flere forskellige sprog.

    By now the sun was up, and through the periscope he minded he could see the stony plateau in front of the position. On the other side of it were the outskirts of the jungle where the enemy was hiding and building his camps, preparing for new attacks. He observed the vastness of the wild jungle stretching north and west, pierced by hundreds of hilltops, each surrounded by a white fog. French Indochina was a gigantic and mysterious place, and he was gradually losing hope that he would ever find what he had come here searching for.French Indochina in the early 1950’s: a badly wounded private in the Foreign Legion, registered under a false name, is admitted to a military hospital. From here we learn about his childhood in Eastern Romania during the 1930s. In a powder keg consisting of Communism, Fascism, anti-Semitism and growing Nazism, Chaim Bercuvitz grows up in the Jewish district of the village of Tetzeda. In this maelstrom of events, the pipe-smoking ferryman and provocateur incarnate, Elisha-shifman, becomes a hero to the boy, as he experiences the monstrosities befalling the Jewish people wherever Nazism takes root. For Chaim it all develops into a personal revenge drama, which through a long journey brings him to a far-off corner of the ailing French colonial empire.The Boatman and the Boy is powerful classic novelistic art built on a solidly researched foundation. A captivating and message-carrying work, which elegantly balances human aspects with high politics.Claes Johansen (b. 1957) is one of the most prolific Danish writers of his generation.

    In the final weeks of 1938, in the shadow of Kristallnacht and imminent war, a heartsick Italian maestro wrote a love song called "Tu Solamente Tu". Its lyrics lamented his forced separation from his wife, the Hungarian ballerina Margit Wolf, in the wake of Mussolini's edict banishing foreign Jews from Italy. The song, first recorded by Vittorio de Sica in 1939, catapulted to the top of the Hit Parade and earned its composer the moniker "the Italian Cole Porter". The German version, "Du Immer Wieder Du", would be performed by Zarah Leander, the foremost film star of the German Reich, and its English counterpart, "You, Fascinating You", by the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. Twenty-two years would pass before the maestro and his ballerina again met face-to-face. "You, Fascinating You" begins as a backstage romance and ends as an epic triumph of the human spirit.Germaine Shames, who also writes under the pen name Casper Silk, is an american author. She has worked in and written from six continents, on a wide array of subjects.
