How did an obscure agitator on the political fringes of early-20th-century Germany rise to become the supreme leader of the "Third Reich"? Unlike many other books that track Adolf Hitler's career after 1933, this book focuses on his formative period—immediately following World War I (1918-1924). The author, a veteran producer of historical documentaries, brings to life this era of political unrest and violent conflict, when forces on both the left and right were engaged in a desperate power struggle.

2015 erfährt Cory Taylor, dass sie nicht mehr lange zu leben hat. In nur wenigen Wochen hat sie ihre Memoiren verfasst, die kurz vor ihrem Tod im Juli 2016 erschienen. Auf bemerkenswerte Weise reflektiert sie über den Sinn der Zeit, die ihr noch bleibt. Sie lässt uns teilhaben an ihrer Erfahrung, was das Sterben sie gelehrt hat. Der universellen Frage über ein Leben nach dem Tod begegnet sie als nicht-religiöser Mensch in einer für sie selbst überraschenden spirituellen Form. Ergreifend und zutiefst weise sind ihre Gedanken über das Sterben, die zugleich eine Hymne an das Leben sind.

Melanoma, quarto stadio. Poi le metastasi, l’intervento al cervello, la diagnosi fatale. Cory Taylor ha sessant’anni e ormai pesa meno di un cane: sta morendo di cancro.
