Abstract

In his diptych Rosa (2017) and Elise (2019), which he intersperses with a number of captivating enigmas that keep the reader on the edge of his seat from one end to the other, all of which are gradually solved, Belgian novelist Marcel Sel paints a masterly fresco of some of the major totalitarianisms that bloodied Europe in the twentieth century: Fascism in Italy, Nazism in Germany and Stalinism in the USSR and its satellite countries. Our study, in which we will highlight the main aspects of this cataclysm, will show that this spectacular novelistic undertaking responds perfectly to the desire for remembrance (as opposed to the compelling duty to remember) that Vincent Engel advocates in his 2020 essay.
