«HHhH» is the historical novel by Laurent Binet, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (391 pages, in Spanish).
The novel reconstructs the rise and fall of Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Gestapo, and narrates the preparation and execution of the assassination attempt that two members of the Resistance carried out against him in Prague in 1942. It also reflects on the limits between reality and fiction when writing about history.
The title alludes to the German phrase «Himmlers Hirn heisst Heydrich» («Himmler's brain is called Heydrich»). Translated by Adolfo García Ortega in this 2011 edition.
For readers of historical fiction, narratives about World War II, and works that explore how the story of the past is constructed.
