It's a question writers have been trying to answer for more than sixty years. But after thousands of biographies, histories, novels, and films, many fundamental questions remain: How do we explain Hitler's hatred? Where did it come from? Could it happen again? Norman Mailer sets out to respond to these and other crucial aspects of Hitler's personality in his immensely readable new novel. Spanning three generations, and a hundred years of history, the book brings to life the Hitlers ? grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, siblings, and, ultimately, young Adolf ? in an energetic and wildly entertaining family saga. Mailer recounts the marriages, incestuous couplings, estrangements, afflictions, and deaths that lead to the birth of little Adi in 1889. Told in the voice of a narrator who in time reveals himself as an assistant to the devil, this playful yet profound novel blends fact and fiction in an incomparable family tale that will cause the reader to re-examine his preconceived ideas about Hitler and the nature of his evil.Hide synopsis

The core of "A Castle in the Forest" is the development of Hitler as he is groomed by an agent of the devil . The book is narrated by Hitler's handler, an apparently low level agent of the devil. The idea is more intriguing than the book. I found the book to be too compelling to put down but draggy ...

I have read the book twice through. The first time because I could not wait to see what happened next. The second time just to make sure I understood the twisted way that he can make the connections to Adolf Hitler as a child into the monster that he became. It was weird to see the way of which Hitler ...

Having read only 28 pages of the new paperback version of this book I am disappointed
that Mailer went back over old territory trying to explode the genaphonia of Himmler and
other Hitler henchmen. Afterall this was what the euthanasia program of the Nazis was
based on and what makes Hitler a complete ...

Sorry to say that this is far from one of Mailer's better efforts. He still has a wonderful narrative style and uses words well, but the story was really rather weak.
The idea of trying to develop an explanation for Hilter's psyche based on his childhood development, as explained by a desciple of ...
