Look Who's Back

Timur Vermes

THE SMASH-HIT HITLER SATIRE - MORE THAN 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD

"A brilliant book" RUSSELL KANE "Brilliant and hilarious" KEN FOLLETT

A box-office-hit film now available on NETFLIX


A two-part BBC Radio 4 Dramatisation directed by and starring David Threlfall (Shameless)


Berlin Summer 2011. Adolf Hitler wakes up on a patch of open ground alive and well. Things have changed - no Eva Braun no Nazi party no war. Hitler barely recognises his beloved Fatherland filled with immigrants and run by a woman.

People certainly recognise him albeit as a flawless impersonator who refuses to break character. The unthinkable the inevitable happens and the ranting Hitler goes viral becomes a YouTube star gets his own T.V. show and people begin to listen. But the Führer has another programme with even greater ambition - to set the country he finds a shambles back to rights.

Look Who's Back stunned and then thrilled 1.5 million German readers with its fearless approach to the most taboo of subjects. Naive yet insightful repellent yet strangely sympathetic the revived Hitler unquestionably has a spring in his step.

Translated from German by Jamie Bulloch
