The last novel (2007) by the classic of American literature Norman Mailer tells about the childhood and youth of Adolf Hitler. The book is narrated on behalf of the devil, who imbues young Adolf with anger, exaltation and self-confidence. The future "leader" reveals his "talents", which will soon grow on the good soil of the romantic nationalism of Central Europe. Mailer considers evil developing under the influence of a general passion for metaphysics, esotericism and philosophy, but the roots of evil nest in those repressed sexual fantasies about which Hitler’s contemporary Freud wrote so much. A mysterious portrait of a monster's soul.
