«La Septième Croix» is the novel by Anna Seghers, published by Métailié in paperback (444 pages, in French).
Seven opponents of Nazism flee a concentration camp; the authorities erect seven crosses and mobilize a large apparatus to capture them. The novel follows their fate between working-class solidarity and betrayals by neighbors or strangers, drawing on testimonies of exiles collected by Anna Seghers.
The novel, written in 1939, was originally published in 1942 as «Das siebte Kreuz»; this French edition is from 2021 and belongs to Métailié's Suites collection.
For readers of historical fiction and works on resistance to Nazism in World War II.
