Roger Vercel (born Roger Cretin) (8 January 1894 Le Mans – 26 February 1957 Dinan) was a French writer. ==Biography == Vercel was fascinated by the sea and marine life. Although he virtually never went to sea, most of his novels featured a maritime setting. World War I interrupted his studies of letters. Early in the war his poor eyesight left him a stretcher-bearer on the battlefields of northern and eastern France. Because of a shortage of army officers, he returned to Saint-Cyr. He ended the war on the eastern front, and was discharged a year after the Armistice. He returned to Dinan, where in 1921 he was appointed professor at the College of Letters. He earned a doctorate in letters in 1927, with a thesis entitled: "The images in the work of Corneille". The Académie française awarded it the Saintour prize of literary history. Dinan extinguished it in 1957. His war memories inspired some of his earlier books: ''Our Father Trajan'', ''Captain Conan'', ''Lena'', but the maritime world makes up the heart of his work. ''Off Eden'' earned him the Prix Femina from the France-America Committee in 1932. He won the Prix Goncourt in 1934 for ''Capitaine Conan''. Several of his works were brought to the screen: * ''Trailers'', 1941 (dir. Jean Gremillion, with Jean Gabin, Michèle Morgan, Madeleine Renaud, Fernand Ledoux) * ''Duguesclin'', 1949 (dir. Bernard de Latour, with Gisele Casadesus, Louis de Funès Gérard Oury) * ''The murky waters'', 1949 (dir. Henri Calef, with Jean Vilar, Ginette Leclerc, André Valmy, Mouloudji) is based on the new blades Deaf. * ''The great bulwarks'', 1954 (dir.
