The Kindly Ones by Jonathan Littell

The Kindly Ones by Jonathan Littell

Dr Max Aue was a former SS intelligence officer, who has reinvented himself as a family man and owner of a lace factory in post-war France. Max is an intellectual steeped in philosophy and classical music. He is also a cold-blooded assassin and the consummate bureaucrat, who speaks out not in self-justification but to set the record straight.

Jonathan Littell was born in 1967 in New York of American parents and brought up and educated mainly in France. This novel, originally published in France as Les Bienveillantes, became a bestseller and won the coveted Prix Goncourt and the Academie Francaise's Prix de Litterature. Previously he worked for the humanitarian agency, Action contre la faim, in Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. He now lives in Spain.
