«Er ist wieder da: Der Roman. Filmausgabe» is the satirical novel by Timur Vermes, published by Lübbe in paperback (400 pages, in German).
In the summer of 2011, Hitler wakes up in a vacant lot in Berlin with no memories after 1945. Lost in today's media-driven Germany, his speeches are interpreted as humour and he ends up becoming a television star. The novel satirises the fascination with audiences, clicks and fame through a grotesque and disturbingly recognisable protagonist.
«Filmausgabe» edition tied to the 2015 film release; the cover includes the tagline «Jetzt im Kino». The original novel was published in 2012.
A work for readers with a command of German, interested in political satire and how media fame works.
