The other half of Hitler, by: Eric Emmanuel Schmitt

On October 8, 1908, a committee composed of a group of painters, sculptors, and architects rejected a young man named Adolf Hitler. Hitler would not be able to enter the College of Fine Arts. That committee would see no real qualifications in Hitler, no imagination, no techniques that would enable him to succeed. That young man would go out and do something entirely different in his life, to become 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. It is the decisions that not only change a person's life but change an entire history, a history without a second world war and Nazism, without fifty-five million dead. Number of pages: 579
