Synopsis "El Viaje de Marcel Grob (in Spanish)"

11 de octubre de 2009. Marcel Grob tiene 83 años y se encuentra ante un juez de instrucción que le interroga acerca de su pasado. En especial sobre el 28 de junio de 1944, día en que este joven francés de 17 años fue incorporado a las Waffen SS al igual que 10 000 compañeros alsacianos. Pero ¿había caído Marcel en la trampa de los nazis o se había alistado voluntariamente? ¿Fue un "A nuestro pesar" o un criminal de guerra? El magistrado busca la verdad en su turbio pasado. Marcel Grob tendrá que volver a sumergirse en los dolorosos recuerdos de un adolescente francés obligado a luchar en Italia en el seno de la siniestra división Reichsführer.

Graduated in History, he has produced successful podcasts on France Inter about figures such as Napoleon, Simone de Beauvoir, and Léon Blum.

This book, which has sold over 300,000 copies in France and will be adapted into a film, earned him the Maurice Druon Award for historical novel in 2024

In addition to his novel, Collin has published the essays The Ghost of Philippe Pétain (Le Fantôme de Philippe Pétain, 2022) and Léon Blum, a Heroic Life (Léon Blum, une vie héroïque, 2023), as well as the graphic novels The Journey of Marcel Grob (Le Voyage de Marcel Grob, 2018) and The Homeland of the Werner Brothers (La Patrie des frères Werner, 2022), both in collaboration with illustrator Sébastien Goethals.
