I was born in Barcelona (Spain) from a German mother. As a teenager I decided to understand what lies behind these language and genes that life imposed on me, so I graduated in German Philology at the Universitat de Barcelona, where I also got a PhD in Romanic Philology.

After devoting myself to the translation and edition of German classic literature (especially Goethe and Thomas Mann), I did some research on Nazism, considered from the perspective of the history of mentalities. So far I have published four historical essays related to German modern history.

Although my books are originally published in Spanish, some of my works have been translated into English, German, Romanian and Polish. My latest publication is "The Marquis and the Swastika. César González Ruano and the Jews in Occupied Paris" (Anagrama, 2014), co-authored with Plàcid Garcia-Planas.
