L'Affaire Collini

The novel intertwines personal and political histories, making me wonder how much of the setting was drawn from real events or research.

The story doesn’t offer easy answers, and I found myself questioning what I would do in similar circumstances. How did others interpret the characters’ decisions?

The courtroom scenes felt so visceral and real—I'm curious whether von Schirach drew from actual legal cases or crafted the dialogue from scratch.
