The narrative of a convinced Nazi and SS officer Maximilien Aue takes us through several different settings of World War II, to the front lines, occupied areas, and the rear. The t ext is conceived as Aue's fictional memoirs written long after the war; Aue does not defend himself but rather tries to explain in his own way how and why one small cog functions in a terrible killing machine. For his monumental excursion into the soul of a small fish among war criminals, Jonathan Littell was awarded the Grand Prix of the French Academy and the prestigious Goncourt Prize in 2006. Show more
