The other half of Hitler

Translator: Wiam Ghadass Number of pages: 579 pages On October 8, 1908, Adolf Hitler applied to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, and he was unanimously rejected by the college's jury. What if Adolf Hitler had been accepted to the Academy of Fine Arts? Would that young man have carried that resentment inside him? Would the world have known a world war that claimed the lives of millions of people? Schmidt places every reader in front of a shocking truth in this book: that the monster lives inside him, inside each of us, because evil is as human as good. Does he continue his relentless fight against this monster or leave it to surface? Schmidt builds a fictional world based on a hypothesis that is completely opposite to the truth: Hitler, who managed to enter the Academy of Fine Arts and became an artist, the artist versus the bloodshed, an amazing paradox that Schmidt was able to gather in one book, inviting the reader to deep reflection on the matter of opposing destinies. This novel is a victory for art as a bridge from evil to good and a triumph of beauty in the face of a culture of death and destruction.
