«Il est de retour» is the satirical novel by Timur Vermes, published by Belfond in paperback (405 pages, in French).
In 2011, Adolf Hitler wakes up in a vacant lot in Berlin sixty-six years after his disappearance and discovers a Germany without war, without a party, and governed by a woman. He goes from being a media curiosity to a political threat. The novel satirizes the culture of fame and the ease with which extremist speeches find an echo.
The French edition translates the German original «Er ist wieder da», published in 2012; the translation is by Pierre Deshusses.
For readers of political satire and black humor looking for a critique of the media and populism.
Timur Vermes is a German writer. Previously a ghostwriter, his first novel Er ist wieder da, which has sold over a million copies in Germany, is a satire about Adolf Hitler and 21st-century Germany. The English version, Look Who's Back, was translated by Jamie Bulloch and published by MacLehose Press in April 2014. The paperback was released in March 2015.
