Considered one of the best French novelists of his generation, Philippe Claudel continues in German Fantasy the investigation of the darkest corners and the complex mechanisms that guide human beings initiated in Gray Souls and The Brodeck Report. In this case, through five interrelated stories that make up a personal, dark and stark narrative about Germany, the two world wars and the postwar period.
Fascinated by Germany and the ghosts of the 20th century that still inhabit reality, Claudel offers us, through some mysterious settings and the deep and harsh portrait of the characters, a disturbing book, of great virtuosity and beauty, which is also a reflection about the painful wounds of Nazism and the place of man in the face of horror.
