“The Moon Is Down”, written by John Steinbeck, takes place in an unnamed town in an unnamed country that has been capture by an unnamed enemy that is at war with England and Russia. Since the book was first published in 1942, it is clear that the enemy is Nazi Germany. The enemy also has several stereotypes portrayed that would have been associated at that time with Nazi Germany, such as being «a timely people.» Furthermore, the head of the enemy occupation in the town, Colonel Lanser, refers many times to his experience fighting in World War I. This intriguing and exciting story tells us about the struggle for the freedom of the peoples.
