Description
The Anchored Heart is a chronicle of an occupied but unconquered people
during WWII. For twelve years, Ida Treat lived with her husband on Îlede-Bréhat,
an island off the coast of Brittany—a world unto itself—until
the fall of France in 1940 brought Nazi soldiers to her doorstep. The
island became a miniature stage for the civil resistance that took place
in much of France. First published in 1941, while the war in Europe was
still raging, the book tells of story of the island’s farmers,
shopkeepers, fishers, and people and old—all of whom believed in victory
against the Nazis. “[The Anchored Heart] leaves the reader with the
conviction that it will take more than Hitler and Pétain and Darlan to
down the people of Brittany, or to rob them of their courage, their
integrity, and their wit.” — The AtlanticAbout the author:Ida Treat
(1889–1978) was born in Joliet, Illinois. After her undergraduate at
Western Reserve University, she went to France and completed her
doctorate at the University of Paris. In 1913, she returned to the US
and taught romance languages at Western Reserve before returning to
France in the 1920s, working as a writer and journalist until the
outbreak of WWII. She was a member of the French Mission of Information
in London between 1943-1946, and in 1948 became Professor of English at
Vassar College, where she taught writing until 1954. Her work appeared
in Harper’s, The Nation, and The New Yorker, where she published
regularly for twenty years. She was the author of three books, Primitive
Hearths in the Pyrenees (1927), a guidebook, Pearls, Arms, and Hashish
(1931), about the adventures of French smuggler Henry de Monfreid, and
The Anchored Heart, a memoir of life on an island off the coast of
Brittany, during the Nazi occupation.
