Some of Héléna's novels were translated into English and German.[2]
In France, Héléna's work had more or less fallen into oblivion outside of Leucate, until a comic strip by Jacques Hiron and Jean - Michel Arroyo recently brought it back to light.
International reception
Héléna's writings were translated into English and German. In German he is considered as one of the founding fathers of the 20th century roman noir.
