«HHhH» is the historical novel by Laurent Binet, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback format (448 pages, in French).
The novel reconstructs Operation Anthropoid, the mission assigned in 1942 to two Czechoslovak paratroopers to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich in Prague, head of the Gestapo and planner of the Final Solution. The narrative alternates documented facts with the author's reflections on the challenge of telling history without distorting it, exploring the tension between the truthfulness of events and the temptation to novelize them.
Winner of the 2010 Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman.
Recommended for readers interested in World War II, the Czech resistance, and historical fiction that questions the very craft of storytelling.
