BBC adapts for television the spy thriller "Munich" about the events of the beginning of World War II

BBC, together with Fremantle Media, adapts the last Robert Harris novel Munich, published last month.

The spy thriller in the format of the series will talk about the events of 1938, when Europe balanced on the verge of war. The main characters will be Hugh Legat, one of the assistants of the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, and a German diplomat and a member of the anti -Hartman anti -Hitman. In the novel, they made friends in Oxford and after years met in Munich as representatives of their countries, clarifies Variety .

“From my point of view, this is an ideal combination - the Anglo -German joint production of history that occurred in England and Germany, and telling about the Englishman and the Germans fighting the Nazis,” the writer greeted the future adaptation.

Robert Harris was born in Nottingham, worked as a BBC journalist and a political editor of a number of British newspapers. He wrote scientific and journalistic books, and in 1992 he published the novel "Faterland" - an alternative story in which Germany won in the Second World War. The debut novel turned out to be a bestseller. Six out of nine of his works are filmed or are about to be transferred to the screen. Among the films based on Harris’s novels, it is worth noting the “Ghost” of Roman Polanski, who gathered all Euroskara in 2010.
