Biography

It was at the beginning of his career at Éditions Robert Laffont that Jean Robin discovered René Guénon's writings.

He subsequently produced the text (René Guénon témoin de la Tradition, 1978), and has continued to make reference to the latter's work in other essays (Le Royaume du Graal, 1992; Veilleur, où en est la nuit (2000); H.P. Lovecraft et le secret des adorateurs du Serpent 2017).

The theme central to his work is eschatology, which refers to the events that are thought to accompany the "end of our world" or historical-cosmological cycle. It is from the point of view of eschatology and with a Guenonian approach that he writes about themes such as "so-called aliens", occultism in Nazism,

Adolf Hitler & Antarctica Jean Robin's book Opération Orth ou l'Incroyable secret de Rennes-le-Château was published in 1989, which involved flying saucers and The Black Order. According to Jean Robin's anonymous informant in this book, Adolf Hitler died in a subterranean complex beneath Antarctica in 1953, where his body is preserved in a hexagonal casket (opposite to that of Raoul Wallenberg). The Black Order believes in Holocaust denial.
