The Moon is Down by John Steinbeck is a relatively unknown piece of literature that was widely circulated by political activists and rebels during many occupations; examples include Nazi-occupied France as well as the Soviet Union amongst a slew of other European nations.
The novella is short in stature at a slight 115 pages in the 1973 Bantam edition and encompasses many themes, such as the relationship between oppressors and the oppressed, the depth and demands of the military-industrial complex, and the iron will of the human spirit against slavery and repression.
Beautiful, Placid Atmosphere and the Occupation
The narrative of The Moon is Down takes place in a somewhat isolated coal mining village in Northern Europe, encrusted with ice and snow in the depths of a freezing winter. This is a very tightly knit, warm community where the love for each other is apparent; Steinbeck is known for his populist leanings and The Moon is Down does not stray from this predilection of portraying the common man as an honourable, gentle, yet spirited soul.
