A seemingly effortless blend of historical truth, personal memory, and Binet's remarkable imagination, HHhH is a work at once thrilling and deeply engrossings historical novel and a profound meditation on the nature of writing and the debt we owe to historyĪccess-restricted-item true Addeddate 11:07:53 Associated-names Taylor, Sam, 1970- Bookplateleaf 0002 Boxid IA40305015 Camera USB PTP Class Camera Collection_set printdiscabled External-identifier The winner of the prestigious Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman, Binet's HHhH is a novel unlike anything else. From their heroic escape from Nazi-occupied Prague to their recruitment by the British secret services from their meticulous preparation and training to their harrowing parachute drop into a war zone from their stealth attack on Heydrich's car to their own brutal deaths in the basement of a Prague church, Binet narrates the compelling story of these two incredible men, rescuing their heroic acts from obscurity. But who exactly were the forgotten heroes who killed one of historys most notorious men? In Laurent Binet's captivating debut novel, HHhH (Himmlers Hirn heisst Heydrich, or Himmler's brain is called Heydrich), we follow the lives of Jozef Gabcik and Jan Kubis, the Slovak and the Czech responsible for Heydrich's death. And most have heard stories of his spectacular assassination at the hands of two Czechoslovakian partisans.
Everyone has heard of Reinhard Heydrich, the Butcher of Prague.
