Half the other Hitler

Book name: The Other Half of Hitler Author: Eric Emmanuel Schmitt Publisher: Miskaliani Number of pages: 528 Book genre: Novel Summary of the book: On October 8, 1908, a committee composed of a group of painters, sculptors, and architects will reject a young man named Adolf Hitler. Hitler will not be able to enter the Fine Arts Academy, and that committee will see no real qualifications in Hitler, no imagination or techniques that would enable him to succeed. That young man will leave and do something entirely different in his life, becoming one of the greatest mass murderers of the twentieth century! The novel revolves around what humanity would look like if that committee had decided on that ordinary day to accept that young man. These are decisions that not only change a person's life but also change an entire history — a history without a second world war, Nazism, or fifty-five million dead!
