Robert Brasillach

French Literature

Robert Brasillach (1909 to 1945) was a French author and journalist, born in Perpignan and educated at the École normale supérieure. He wrote novels, literary criticism and works on cinema, among them a Histoire du cinéma written with his brother-in-law Maurice Bardèche and the novel Les Sept Couleurs, nominated for the Prix Goncourt in 1939. He also edited the nationalist newspaper Je suis partout, which advocated fascist movements, and he was executed in February 1945 after the liberation of France for collaborationism, a sentence that remains controversial.
