«Voluntat» is the historical novel by Jeroen Olyslaegers, published by Amsterdam in paperback (384 pages, in Catalan).
Set in Antwerp during the Nazi occupation, the novel follows Wilfried Wils, a young policeman with a poet's soul who tries to survive between collaboration and resistance. His moral ambiguity places him between victim and executioner, and only in old age do guilt and shame over his neutrality surface.
Translation by Maria Rossich. The work, originally published as «Wil» in 2016, won the F. Bordewijkprijs and the Fintro Literatuurprijs.
For readers of historical fiction and contemporary narrative interested in World War II and the moral dilemmas of occupation.
