«Young Adolf» is the historical novel by Beryl Bainbridge, published by Flamingo Fontana Paperbacks in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Without evidence that the young Adolf Hitler visited Liverpool in 1912, the novel imagines what might have happened during those five months of living with an Irish family. Between black humour and satire, it speculates on identity, domestic life and the traits that could herald the future dictator.
The novel was originally published in 1978; this 1985 edition belongs to the Flamingo S. collection.
For readers of historical fiction and satire interested in speculating about Hitler's early years.
