Sinossi
"Quando incontrai Adolf avevo sedici anni e lui quindici. Per i successivi quattro anni gli vissi affianco e mi confidò cose che non aveva mai detto a nessuno, nemmeno a sua madre". A parlare è August Kubizek che, attraverso il memoriale "Il giovane Hitler che conobbi", ci descrive in che modo si formarono il carattere feroce, l'impareggiabile forza di volontà e l'implacabile sistematicità mentale del più ingombrante e scomodo personaggio del secolo scorso. Durante l'adolescenza Hitler è un personaggio alla deriva: ha fallito a scuola, è disoccupato, respinto dall'Accademia d'Arte di Vienna, vive miseramente dipingendo cartoline. Ma dietro quest'apparente inettitudine, Kubizek ci mostra il carattere di un uomo che, da questi inizi, grazie ad una personalità magnetica, diverrà il conquistatore più potente e terribile della storia moderna, riuscendo a mobilitare i peggiori istinti di rivalsa del popolo tedesco.

A truly amazing book. I should note that I have a 1955 printing that HASN'T been edited to be "political correct." I couldn't put it down... No wonder Miguel Serrano said it should be read again and again...studied. It is clear the author is neither uncritical nor overly so, but simply gives an hone Leggi tutto
I approached this book with the expectation of learning what exactly went wrong in Adolph Hitler's early childhood that could have been responsible for creating the monster he became. The fact that Hitler was a product of incest and a narcissistic, tyrannical, stubborn, and delusional young man with Leggi tutto
There are many books about Hitler. They usually tell us about his years as a dictator and his political career. What I always wanted to read was a book about what happened before. All I knew is that he loved his mother and wanted to be an artist. I already read a book about young Stalin and Hitler w Leggi tutto
This book provides the reader, with probably, the most intimate account available on Hitler's youth and upbringing. August Kubizek and Hitler were best friends from around the age of 15-19 years old. This book will probably come as a shock to the layman, as it seems to depict an apologist's view on
While written in a very matter of fact, documentarian manner , this slim volume is a fascinating look (via his childhood friend) of part of the adolescence of the Young Adolf Hitler. As a reader,when encountering works in this vein , it is imperative that one separate themselves from the later mis-d Leggi tutto
I can't remember how I first heard of this book. When it was reprinted (the original title was Young Hitler , I bought a copy. Just finished reading this work and seeing another side of Hitler was very interesting. It was obvious that the teenaged Hitler had sociopathic characteristics and controlled Leggi tutto
It is funny how I am more interested in the Author's life than young Hitler. It seems to me, he appears to be more open minded than young Adolf here. I realized back then (during my schooldays) when I read this book about the memoir of Hitler, I learned that even the most notorious monster throughou Leggi tutto
Let's suppose that you've been invited to visit Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory in the basement of his exalted castle. You descend the steps as the acrid smell of putrid chemicals and rotting flesh grows in your nostrils accompanied by Egor who holds a tiny torch and speaks in animated and lofty tone
