«La Part de l'autre» is the historical fiction novel by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback of 503 pages in French.
On 8 October 1908, Hitler is rejected from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Schmitt develops two parallel existences: that of the excluded young man who will lead Germany and that of the admitted Adolf who becomes a painter. The alternation of both lives invites reflection on chance and the decisions that change history.
The novel was originally published in 2001; this Le Livre de Poche edition is from 2003 and includes an unpublished epilogue titled «Journal de La Part de l'autre».
An alternate history for readers of historical fiction interested in the weight of small events and alternative biographies of twentieth-century figures
