« Le procès de Jeanne d’Arc » est la transcription fidèle et complète des interrogatoires de Jeanne lors de son procès à Rouen en 1431, qui la vit, à 19 ans, condamnée à être brûlée vive. Texte établi et préfacé par Robert Brasillach, 500 ans après.
Brasillach wrote both fiction and non-fiction. While his fiction dealt with love, life and politics in his era, his non-fiction dealt with a great variety of themes, ranging from drama, great literary figures and contemporary world events. His work in the realm of cinema history was particularly influential.
He became an editor of Je suis partout, a paper led by Pierre Gaxotte.
After the liberation of France in 1944 he was executed following a trial and Charles de Gaulle's express refusal to grant him a pardon. Brasillach was executed for advocating collaborationism, denunciation and incitement to murder.
