Tom Keneally

Corporal Hitler's Pistol (eBook, ePUB)

Winner of the 2022 ARA Historical Novel Prize

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Keneally brings [his] characters together beautifully. They are alive on the page and we care for all of them, even the sinners. There is a lot of humour, including with the character names, a bit of melodrama and a lilting nostalgia for the days when going to the pictures involved dressing up, watching newsreels and listening to a dandy in a boater hat and bow tie play Chopin.

The author won the Booker Prize for his 1982 Holocaust novel Schindler's Ark. In his hands, Droopy [Hitler] is not the man we expect. The last words we hear him speak deny the weight of all that is to come. This novel is not so much an alternative history as an only-if history.
