Publisher's Synopsis
Jean Casson, a Parisian film producer whose agreeable lifestyle is changed forever by the German invasion, struggles to put his world back together and to come to terms with the uncomfortable realities of life under German occupation. He becomes caught up - reluctantly - in the early activities of what was to become the French Resistance. Haunting and atmospheric, The World at Night is an evocative portrait of a man of honor, torn between love, patriotism and self-preservation.
