His  biography of Adolf Hitler has reached millions of readers around the  world. Born in 1926, Fest experienced firsthand the rise of the Nazis,  the Second World War, and a catastrophically defeated Germany, thus  becoming a vital witness to these difficult years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this memoir  of his childhood and youth, Fest offers a far-reaching view of how he  experienced the war and National Socialism. True to the German \u003ci\u003eBildung \u003c\/i\u003etradition,  Fest grows up immersed in the works of Goethe, Schiller, Mörike, Rilke,  Kleist, Mozart, and Beethoven. His father, a conservative Catholic  teacher, opposes the Nazi regime and as a result loses his job and  status. Fest is forced to move to a boarding school in the countryside  that he despises, and in his effort to come to terms with his father’s  strong political convictions, he embarks on a tireless quest for  knowledge and moral integrity that will shape the rest of his life and  writing career.","brand":"Other Press, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134235197680,"sku":"9781590516119","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590516119_p0.jpg?v=1763805162","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590516119","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
