Summary

Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt: The Second Life of Adolf H.

At the beginning of October 1909, Adolf Hitler failed the entrance exam at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. What if the jury had made a different decision? The course of the Fuhrer's life, and then the life of the timid, passionate German youth and, ultimately, world history - would probably have been completely changed.
Among the personalities who profoundly changed the course of the XX century, Hitler is the most prominent. A personal defeat prompted him to draw his sword on the entire planet. A novelist could write about this period without mentioning Hitler's name, but then his story would be mere fiction. He decides to start from another assumption - What if Hitler was a different man? What if something pulled him away from his demons? What if he had never been involved in politics?

Schmitt manipulates the plot with astonishing skill. He takes two parallel narrative courses with pleasure. One event, placed at the beginning of the novel, will give way to two different destinies.
The entire novel rests on two alternative possibilities - "failed" or "passed". Chapter after chapter, the one who failed will be pitted against the one who did. The one who is not - his name is Hitler. The art world rejected him irrevocably. The one he accepted is called Adolf H. We know almost everything about the life of the first. Describing the other, Schmitt introduces us to the space of alternative possibilities.
