Jean Marcel Bruller (26 February 1902 – 10 June 1991) was a French writer and illustrator who co-founded Les Éditions de Minuit with Pierre de Lescure and Yvonne Paraf. During the World War II occupation of northern France he joined the Resistance and his texts were published under the pseudonym Vercors. Several of his novels have fantasy or science fiction themes. The 1952 novel ''Les Animaux dénaturés'' (translated variously into English as ''You Shall Know Them'', ''Borderline'', and ''The Murder of the Missing Link'') was made into the 1970 film ''Skullduggery'' (1970) starring Burt Reynolds and Susan Clark,〔(''Skullduggery'' (1970) at IMDB )〕 and examines the question of what it means to be human. ''Colères'' (translated into English as ''The Insurgents'') is about the quest for immortality.〔John Clute and Peter Nicholls, ''The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction'', St. Martin's Press, 1993, ISBN 0-312-09618-6〕 In 1960 he wrote ''Sylva'', a novel about a fox who turns into a woman, inspired by David Garnett's novel ''Lady into Fox'' (1922). The English translation was nominated for the 1963 Hugo Award for Best Novel.〔(List of Hugo nominees )〕 His historical novel ''Anne Boleyn'' (1985) presents a very intelligent Anne as having determinedly set about marrying Henry VIII of England in order to separate England from Papal power and strengthen England's independence. ==Bibliography== * ''Patapoufs et Filifers'' (''Fattypuffs and Thinifers''; illustrator only) (1930) * ''Le Silence de la mer'' (The Silence of the Sea) (1942) * ''Ce jour-là'' (1943) * ''L'impuissance'' (1944) * ''Le Cheval et la Mort'' (1944) * ''Le Songe'' (1943) * ''Les Armes de la nuit'' (1946) * ''Les Yeux et la lumière'' (1948) * ''La Puissance du jour'' (1951) * ''Les Animaux dénaturés'' (1952) * ''Colères'' (1956) * ''Sur ce rivage'', I – III (1958–60) * ''Clémentine'' (1959) * ''Sylva'' (1961) * ''Quota ou les Pléthoriens'' (1966) * ''Le Radeau de la Méduse'' (1969) * ''Sillages'' (1972) * ''Sept sentiers du désert'' (1972) * ''Les Chevaux du temps'' (1977) * ''Le Piège à loup'' (1979) * ''Moi, Aristide Briand'' (1981) * ''Anne Boleyn'' (Anne Boleyn: Forty Crucial Months in England's Evolution) (1985) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean Bruller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
