Personal Writings - Albert Camus
It was the discovery of the essays celebrating his childhood and youth that altered my perception of Camus, from a thinker to a writer whose intellectual lucidity was a product of the wealth - the sensual immediacy and clarity - that had been heaped on his senses' Geoff Dyer Albert Camus was born in a 'world of poverty and sunshine' in Algeria, which would infuse all of his work. This new collection brings together three volumes of Camus' most intimate autobiographical writings for the first time. The Wrong Side and the Right Side, his first book, describes his family and his early years in a working-class neighbourhood.

The Outsider - Albert Camus
Albert Camus' portrayal of a man confronting the absurdity of human life became a classic. Yet it is also a book filled with quiet joy in the physical world, and this new translation sensitively renders the subtleties and dreamlike atmosphere of The Outsider. 'My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know.'In The Outsider (1942), his classic existentialist novel, Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. Meursault, his anti-hero, will not lie. When his mother dies, he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers, his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal. Albert Camus' portrayal of a man confronting the absurd, and revolting against the injustice of society, depicts the paradox of man's joy in life when faced with the 'tender indifference' of the world. Sandra Smith's translation, based on close listening to a recording of Camus reading his work aloud on French radio in 1954, sensitively renders the subtleties and dream-like atmosphere of L'Étranger. Albert Camus (1913-1960), French novelist, essayist and playwright, is one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. His most famous works include The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), The Plague (1947), The Just (1949), The Rebel (1951) and The Fall (1956). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, and his last novel, The First Man, unfinished at the time of his death, appeared in print for the first time in 1994, and was published in English soon after by Hamish Hamilton. Sandra Smith was born and raised in New York City and is a Fellow of Robinson College, University of Cambridge, where she teaches French Literature and Language. She has won the French American Foundation Florence Gould Foundation Translation Prize, as well as the PEN Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize.

The Myth of Sisyphus - Albert Camus
The summation of the existentialist philosophy threaded throughout all his writing, Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus is translated by Justin O'Brien with an introduction by James Wood in Penguin Classics.In this profound and moving philosophical statement, Camus poses the fundamental question: is life worth living? If human existence holds no significance, what can keep us from suicide? As Camus argues, if there is no God to give meaning to our lives, humans must take on that purpose themselves. This is our 'absurd' task, like Sisyphus forever rolling his rock up a hill, as the inevitability of death constantly overshadows us. Written during the bleakest days of the Second World War, The Myth of Sisyphus (Le Mythe de Sisyphe) argues for an acceptance of reality that encompasses revolt, passion and, above all, liberty. This volume contains several other essays, including lyrical evocations of the sunlit cities of Algiers and Oran, the settings of his great novels The Outsider and The Plague.Albert Camus (1913-60) is the author of a number of best-selling and highly influential works, all of which are published by Penguin. They include The Fall, The Outsider and The First Man. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, Camus is remembered as one of the few writers to have shaped the intellectual climate of post-war France, but beyond that, his fame has been international.If you enjoyed The Myth of Sisyphus, you might like Camus' The Outsider, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'Camus could never cease to be one of the principal forces in our domain, nor to represent, in his own way, the history of France and of this century'Jean-Paul Sartre

Personal Writings - Ignatius of Loyola, Joseph Munitiz
The writings of a major Christian thinkerOne of the key figures in Christian history, St. Ignatius of Loyola (c. 1491-1556) was a passionate and unique spiritual thinker and visionary. The works gathered here provide a first-hand, personal introduction to this remarkable character: a man who turned away from the Spanish nobility to create the revolutionary Jesuit Order, inspired by the desire to help people follow Christ. His Reminiscences describe his early life, his religious conversion following near-paralysis in battle, and his spiritual and physical ordeals as he struggled to assist those in need, including plague, persecution and imprisonment. The Spiritual Exercises offer guidelines to those seeking the will of God, and the Spiritual Diary shows Ignatius in daily mystical contact with God during a personal struggle. The Letters collected here provide an insight into Ignatius'' ceaseless campaign to assist those seeking enlightenment and to direct the young Society of Jesus.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

The Fall - Albert Camus
A philosophical novel described by fellow existentialist Sartre as 'perhaps the most beautiful and the least understood' of his novels, Albert Camus' The Fall is translated by Robin Buss in Penguin Modern Classics.Jean-Baptiste Clamence is a soul in turmoil. Over several drunken nights in an Amsterdam bar, he regales a chance acquaintance with his story. From this successful former lawyer and seemingly model citizen a compelling, self-loathing catalogue of guilt, hypocrisy and alienation pours forth. The Fall (1956) is a brilliant portrayal of a man who has glimpsed the hollowness of his existence.

Travels in the Americas - Albert Camus
Albert Camus’s lively journals from his eventful visits to the United States and South America in the 1940s, available again in a new translation. In March 1946, the young Albert Camus crossed from Le Havre to New York. Though he was virtually unknown to American audiences at the time, all that was about to change—The Stranger, his first book translated into English, would soon make him a literary star. By 1949, when he set out on a tour of South America, Camus was an international celebrity. Camus’s journals offer an intimate glimpse into his daily life during these eventful years and showcase his thinking at its most personal—a form of observational writing that the French call choses vues (things seen). Camus’s journals from these travels record his impressions, frustrations, joys, and longings. Here are his unguarded first impressions of his surroundings and his encounters with publishers, critics, and members of the New York intelligentsia. Long unavailable in English, the journals have now been expertly retranslated by Ryan Bloom, with a new introduction by Alice Kaplan. Bloom’s translation captures the informal, sketch-like quality of Camus’s observations—by turns ironic, bitter, cutting, and melancholy—and the quick notes he must have taken after exhausting days of travel and lecturing. Bloom and Kaplan’s notes and annotations allow readers to walk beside the existentialist thinker as he experiences changes in his own life and the world around him, all in his inimitable style.

The Plague - Albert Camus
The Plague is Albert Camus''s world-renowned fable of fear and courageThe townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims to a swift and horrifying death. Fear, isolation and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr Rieux, resist the terror.An immediate triumph when it was published in 1947, The Plague is in part an allegory of France''s suffering under the Nazi occupation, and a story of bravery and determination against the precariousness of human existence.''A matchless fable of fear, courage and cowardice'' Independent''Magnificent''The TimesAlbert Camus was born in Algeria in 1913.

Exile and the Kingdom - Albert Camus
The stories of Exile and the Kingdom explore the dilemma of being an outsider - even in one''s own country - and of allegiance. With intense power and lyricism, Camus evokes beautiful but harsh landscapes, whether the shimmering deserts of his native Algeria or the wild, mysterious jungles of Brazil.Here a Frenchwoman is gradually seduced by the sheer difference of North Africa, a mutilated renegade is driven mad by the cruelty of his own people, and a barrel-maker watches the slow decline of his craft. A kindly teacher must choose between the law and a life, while a modest painter is out of his depth in the hypocrisy of the art world, and a French engineer discovers a new sense of belonging in a distant land.French novelist, essayist, and playwright. Albert Camus (1913-1960) was a representative of non-metropolitan French literature. His origin in Algeria and his experiences there in the thirties were dominating influences in his thought and work.Carol Cosman is the translator of many works from French, both literary and scholarly. Among the books she has translated are Jean-Paul Sartre''s "The Family Idiot: Gustave Flaubert, 1821-1857," Honoré de Balzac''s "Colonel Chabert," Simone de Beauvoir''s "America Day by Day," and most recently René Daumal''s "Mount Analogue".

První člověk - Albert Camus
Hlas Alberta Camuse zní ze všech jeho románů nejosobněji právě v této knize. Autor putuje ke kořenům, hledá sám sebe, odkrývá myšlenková východiska svých knih. Podněcuje čtenáře, aby důsledně promysleli jejich poselství. Opravdu jsou Camusovi vlastní všechny pojmy běžně spojované s jeho jménem - existencialismus, absurdita, společenské vyloučení, revolta? Autor vyjadřuje hluboký vztah k Alžírsku jako k svému prvnímu domovu, zatímco Francie pro něj navždy zůstala druhým, nikoli však vlastním domovem. Camusova přimknutost k zemi jeho dětství je stejného rodu jako láskyplný vztah k hluché, jen ze rtů odezírající negramotné matce, v jejíž chudé domácnosti na předměstí Alžíru vyrostl. Sebevýchova "prvního člověka" Camuse se musela obejít bez autority otce, bez jeho předaných zkušeností a pravd. Je věrný sám sobě, vědomý si svých chyb, nelítostně poctivý… a přitom se nevzdává naděje. Revoltuje proti utrpení, učí (se) milovat, co je nedokonalé. Jeho vnitřní, skutečná, žitá úcta k lidské práci ho rozdělila od pařížských intelektuálů, kteří o proletariátu jen vedli řeči. Kvůli tomu všemu je právě dnes namístě číst Camuse pozorně! Albert Camus zamýšlel tímto dílem vytvořit tolstojovsky velký román své doby. Paradoxně znejistělý udělením Nobelovy ceny bolestně s psaním zápasil, když ho ve třetině zamýšleného celku zastihla tragická smrt. Tímto románem zahajuje nakladatelství LEDA soustavnou ediční řadu Camusových děl v nově zpracovaných, autoritativních překladech.

Selected here are some of his finest personal essays about Algeria and its environs, including the luminous ‘Nuptials at Tipasa’, one of his earliest works where he developed the themes that would inform his later philosophy: to thrive now, without hope for paradise, as mortal life alone can be worthwhile.

The Outsider - Albert Camus
Albert Camus' laconic masterpiece about a Frenchman who murders an Arab in colonial Algeria is famous in its time for diagnosing a state of alienation and spiritual exhaustion which summed up the mood of the mid-twentieth century. Today, more than fifty years after its first appearance, we can see that this early success was no passing fashion: The Outsider continues to speak to us of ultimate things with the force of a parable and the excitement of a thriller and remains one of the most widely read and influential classics of the century.

Rebel - Albert Camus
By one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of our century, The Rebel is a classic essay on revolution that resonates as an ardent, eloquent, and supremely rational voice of conscience for our tumultuous times.For Albert Camus, the urge to revolt is one of the "essential dimensions" of human nature, manifested in man's timeless Promethean struggle against the conditions of his existence, as well as the popular uprisings against established orders throughout history. And yet, with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides, he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny. Translated from the French by Anthony Bower.

A Happy Death - Albert Camus
Is it possible to die a happy death?This is the central question of Camus''s astonishing early novel, published posthumously and greeted as a major literary event. It tells the story of a young Algerian, Mersault, who defies society''s rules by committing a murder and escaping punishment, then experimenting with different ways of life and finally dying a happy man. In many ways A Happy Death is a fascinating first sketch for The Outsider, but it can also be seen as a candid self-portrait, drawing on Camus''s memories of his youth, travels and early relationships. It is infused with lyrical descriptions of the sun-drenched Algiers of his childhood - the place where, eventually, Mersault is able to find peace and die ''without anger, without hatred, without regret''.

Úvahy o terorismu - Albert Camus
Překlad francouzského výboru vydaného roku 2002 přináší úryvky z děl různých žánrů: novinové články, úryvky beletristických děl nebo esejů, osobní dopisy, předmluvy ke sborníkům a ukazuje jak různorodost Camusovy tvorby, tak hlubokou jednotu jeho otázek i přesvědčení. Vybrané texty byly napsány v letech 1943 až 1958 a od té doby se mnoho změnilo a otázka terorismu nabyla podstatně odlišných rozměrů. Camus se nedožil nezávislého Alžírska, ani pádu SSSR, ani vzestupu náboženského fanatismu. Přestože promýšlel a psal tyto stránky pro svou dobu, nepochybně se týkají i nás - ať jde o novinové články nebo úryvky z esejů a literárních děl - a mohou nám pomoct lépe pochopit současné dění v Alžírsku, na Středním východě i newyorské události z 11. září 2001. Tyto texty totiž vypovídají o Camusově prozíravosti založené na morálních, filosofických a politických úvahách, jež jsou vždy úzce spjaty s historickými událostmi. Camus důrazně odmítá jakkoliv ospravedlňovat zabíjení a nesouhlasí s tvrzením, že by účel světil prostředky, protože je přesvědčen, že "násilí je zároveň nevyhnutelné i neospravedlnitelné" a že určité meze jsou nezbytné proto, aby spravedlnost, svoboda, lidská důstojnost a štěstí zůstaly zachovány; přináší nám tedy vzkaz bez iluzí, ale paradoxně také důvody, abychom si ze světa nezoufali.

Zapřený Albert aneb Příběh o žalu a lži - Daniela Fischerová - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Ústřední postavou příběhu plného paradoxů, ve kterém na sebe fatálně narazí milosrdná lež dospělých a neschopnost dítěte pochopit plnou pravdu, je Albert Brixi. Jako dospělý muž se ve vzpomínkách vrací do roku 1942 a vypráví krutý zážitek z vlastního dětství. Připomíná si ho ve chvíli, kdy stojí před rozhodnutím, zda přijme odpovědnost za dítě, které se má narodit.Hrou Zapřený Albert aneb Příběh o žalu a lži Daniela Fischerová v roce 1989 v rozhlase debutovala. Poprvé se tak setkala s režisérkou Hanou Kofránkovou, která pak realizovala převážnou většinu jejích rozhlasových scénářů (Andělský smích, Velká vteřina, Cesta k pólu, Neděle nebo Nevděčné děti). Osoby a obsazení: Albert Brixi (Eduard Cupák), Albert Brixi osmiletý (Petr Hotmar), Albert Kaftan (Marek Tomažič), Albert Brixi otec (Jiří Adamíra), Růža (Jorga Kotrbová), recepční (Svatopluk Beneš) a telefonistka (Drahomíra Fialková) Režie: Hana Kofránková"Rozhlasová hra je nejkrásnější a zároveň nejtěžší žánr, který jsem kdy zkusila. Jen ten, kdo to sám dělá, ví, jak těžké je odvyprávět příběh jen prostřednictvím hlasů. V divadle hercům pomáhá kostým, rekvizita, scénografie, světlo, mimika, gesto, pohyb po jevišti? Rozhlasový herec má jen uzounkou hlasovou štěrbinu a ta musí vytvořit charakter, situaci i příběh."Daniela Fischerová

Albert Watson: Kaos (Collector’s Edition) - Reuel Golden
Celebrate the “photographer’s photographer,” Albert Watson, one of the most in-demand and versatile portrait, fine art, and fashion photographers. This Collector’s Edition showcases Watson’s textured, graphic, often cinematic style that shines across genres, time periods, and subjects including Steve Jobs, Keith Richards, David Bowie, Jack Nicholson, and Uma Thurman.Collector’s Edition (No. 201–1,200), each numbered and signed by Albert Watson What makes Albert Watson one of the world’s most revered photographers, hailed by peers, critics, and collectors alike? Is it his unparalleled portfolio of celebrity portraits? Breathtaking landscapes? Sensual nudes, still lifes, illustrious fashion shoots?KAOS presents a kaleidoscopic overview of Watson’s career to date and the dazzling array of subjects, objects, people, and places he has encountered along the way. A skillfully curated survey of a uniquely diverse, dynamic portfolio, it spans nearly half a century of photography to encounter stars, statesmen, women, and strangers; bound through neon-blazing cities; find figures poised, gymnastic, or shimmering with nude eroticism; roam the bright lights and the backstreets; soak up extravagant sunsets; enter the controlled studio environment; and breathe in the elemental wilds of the photographer’s native Scotland. From Watson’s breakthrough portrait of Alfred Hitchcock for the Christmas 1973 edition of Harper’s Bazaar to a 2016 shot of Kanye West, each photograph reverberates with tightly coiled power, tension, and poetry. Whether it’s a portrait of a Las Vegas dominatrix, Elvis’s gold suit, a chimpanzee, or a street scene in China, Watson excels in capturing the surface seamlessly and probing its myriad depths. Along the way, his celebrity portraiture, including the likes of David Bowie, Jay Z, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Jack Nicholson, Steve Jobs, and Andy Warhol, shows a particular interest in the private person behind the iconic façade. This remarkable collection is accompanied by an essay from the recently retired head of photographs at Christie’s, Philippe Garner, and extensive quotes from Watson, as well as dozens of previously unpublished Polaroids, culled from Watson’s personal archives. The result is a defining document of the “photographer’s photographer,” iridescent in its graphic, often cinematic allure, and irresistible in its eclectic glory.Collector’s Edition of 1,000 copies (No. 201-1,200), each numbered and signed by Albert Watson. Also available as four signed Art Editions (No. 1–200), all with a signed print. The artist Albert Watson (b. 1942) born in Scotland, his striking images have appeared on more than a hundred covers of Vogue and have been featured in countless other publications, including Rolling Stone and Time. Watson has also photographed for hundreds of successful ad campaigns for companies such as Prada, Revlon, and Chanel. All the while, he has spent much of his time working on personal projects from Marrakech to Las Vegas. His breakthrough came in 1973, with a shot he still considers the most important of his career: Alfred Hitchcock holding a plucked goose. The author Philippe Garner is an expert in 20th-century photography, design, and decorative art. He has written numerous essays and books, from studies of the lives of Émile Gallé and photographers Cecil Beaton and John Cowan, to his Sixties Design for TASCHEN. A former director of Christie’s, he has also curated shows for museums in London, Paris, and Tokyo. The editor Reuel Golden is former editor of the British Journal of Photography. His TASCHEN titles include Capitol Records, Mick Rock: The Rise of David Bowie, both London and New York Portrait of a City books, Andy Warhol. Polaroids, The Rolling Stones, Her Majesty, Football in the 1970s, and the National Geographic editions.

Cesare Zavattini: Selected Writings
Volume 1 makes available for the first time in English thirty-nine scenarios and two treatments. Each text is preceded by an introduction, providing an essential frame of reference to make these writings entirely accessible to the reader. While nearly all these texts belong to the post-war period, including the stories for major post-war classics, there are also seven pre-war raccontini, the narrative source of Zavattini’s Modernist magical realism, several fictional interviews and faux reportage, tinged with irony aimed at Hollywood, complemented by several pre-war scenarios. The book also features scenarios for Luchino Visconti’s Bellissima, Alessandro Blasetti’s First Communion, De Sica’s The Roof and texts encompassing Zavattini’s ethnographic vision, from the redactions of Italia mia, interviews for Un paese, illustrated with Paul Strand’s photographs, to the scenarios for investigative documentaries, including Why?, The Mysteries of Rome, The Guinea Pig, the Free Newsreel Revolution, and the lucid Before, During After, tackling Aldo Moro’s assassination by the Red Brigades. The book includes Zavattini’s last word on cinema and society, the testamentary satire La verità aaa (1982), written, directed and acted by Zavattini himself.Each text is preceded by an introduction, providing an essential frame of reference to make these writings entirely accessible to the reader.Volume 2 brings to the fore Zavattini’s ever-evolving internal dialogue between diary writer, screenwriter, narrative writer, and political activist. Essential to trace the origin of Zavattini’s ideas on cinema and understand his theorization of Neo-realism is the inclusion of a selection of the filmmaker’s pre-war writings. Most of the book provides a substantial anthology of texts translated from Neorealismo ecc. (1979), comprising Zavattini’s major essays, conference papers, unpublished production papers, interviews, and vital excerpts from his correspondence and published cinematic diary. Through translation and detailed cultural and contextual commentary, translator and editor David Brancaleone traces not only Zavattini’s theory of the screen, but also his experimentation in new film practices, including the flash-film (film lampo), the inquiry film (film inchiesta), cinema as encounter (cinema d''incontro), the diary film (film diario), the confessional film (film-confessione), and the grass-roots community film (cinema insieme or cinema di tanti per tanti).Each text is preceded by an introduction, providing an essential frame of reference to make these writings entirely accessible to the reader.

John Quincy Adams: Speeches & Writings (LOA #390) - David Waldstreicher, John Quincy Adams
''Few presidents ever thought about words as carefully as John Quincy Adams. Thankfully, we can now hear his words again, in this instantly essential volume.''-Ted Widmer, historian and former presidential speechwriter. John Quincy Adams was one of the most accomplished American statesmen of his or any era. He brought all his eloquence, erudition, and fierce energy to bear on the politics of the nation over the course of a remarkable career that spanned from the founding era to the sectional crisis that preceded the Civil War. Despite a persistent interest in this pivotal figure, there has never been a single-volume collection of Adams''s essential political writings, until now. Here, for the first time in an edition for general readers and students alike, are the profound insights of a far-seeing political leader who was also a consummate American stylist. From his prophetic college commencement address in 1787 to his vigorous denunciation of slavery in 1843, this Library of America volume offers a compact and compelling record of America''s fractious evolution as a democratic republic, presenting some of the most important political writings in our history. These writings are more urgently needed than ever. In the words of biographer Fred Kaplan: ''His values, his definition of leadership, and his vision for the nation''s future - particularly the difficulty of transforming vision into reality in a country that often appears ungovernable - are as much about twenty-first century America as about Adams''s life and times.''

W.B. Yeats's Robartes-Aherne Writings - Wayne K. Chapman
The figures of Michael Robartes and Owen Aherne appear throughout the writing of the great Irish poet W.B. Yeats, featuring in his poems, short fictions, dialogues and as authorities in notes to his work. Bringing together into one volume published and unpublished writings featuring these two enigmatic figures, W.B. Yeats’s Robartes-Aherne Writings traces their history and the development of Yeats’s mystical thought that culminated (twice) in the publication of his visionary work A Vision (1925, 1937). Including reproductions of manuscript and notebook pages as well as transcriptions and extracts from a wide range of Yeats’s mystical writings and substantial commentary and annotation throughout, this book is an essential resource for scholars of Yeats’s thought, his stylistic evolution and the esoteric influences on modernist writing in the early 20th century.

Albert jede domů - Homer Hickam
Román Albert jede domů, inspirovaný životy autorových rodičů, vypráví laskavý, zábavný a dojemný příběh mladého manželského páru, jenž v doprovodu poněkud zarážejícího domácího mazlíčka - aligátora jménem Albert - vyrazí na zdánlivě pošetilou cestu napříč Amerikou třicátých let. Tato cesta se stává barvitou alegorií životní poutě a zároveň s notnou dávkou fantazie vypovídá o onom podivném a zázračném citu zvaném láska. Milostný příběh, který autor nabízí svým čtenářům, je přitom poněkud komplikovanějšího rázu. Oč v něm jde? Když Homer požádá Elsie zčistajasna o ruku, jeho někdejší spolužačka ze střední školy ho rázně odmítne a vydá se do floridského Orlanda, kde se bláznivě zamiluje do tanečníka a herce Buddyho Ebsena. Ten však zakrátko odjede za kariérou do New Yorku; Elsie se tak sklopenou hlavou nakonec vrací do uhelného kraje a provdá se za Homera. Poklidný manželský život v hornickém městečku v Západní Virginii ji však příliš neuspokojuje, a aby toho nebylo málo, bezstarostné dny na Floridě jí každý den připomíná neobvyklý svatební dar od Buddyho: aligátor Albert, kterého Hickhamovi museli ubytovat v jediné koupelně svého dělnického domku. Po čase dochází Homerovi trpělivost a postaví svou ženu před nelehké rozhodnutí - buď půjde z domu on, nebo aligátor. Po zvážení všech možností Elsie usoudí, že mají jen jednu možnost: odvézt Alberta zpátky domů do Orlanda…

Twelve Years With Hitler - Albert Zoller, Christa Schroeder
In 1930, as a young woman, Christa Schroeder became a stenographer for the Nazi party, before being noticed by Hitler who, in 1933, hired her as his private secretary. Schroeder remained by Hitler’s side, fiercely loyal, for twelve years, living at the Wolfsschanze and even joining him and his staff in the Führerbunker in Berlin in January 1945. In 1945, interned in the Augsburg camp, Christa Schroeder was interrogated by French liaison officer Albert Zoller who asked her to recount her years spent with the Führer. Schroeder’s testimony, published here in the form of interviews with Zollers, gives an intimate, astonishing and incredibly detailed insight into the private life and personality of Adolf Hitler throughout the 1930s and 1940s. An exceptional testimony, Twelve Years With Hitler is an essential source document on Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. Translated into English here for the first time, Albert Zoller’s interviews with Christa Schroeder are guaranteed to shock and fascinate any military history enthusiast.
