{"product_id":"book-abyv","title":"The Castle in the Forest","description":"\u003cb\u003eA MAJOR NEW NOVEL FROM ONE OF AMERICA'S GREATEST MEN OF LETTERS\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e No career in modern American letters is at once so brilliant, varied, and controversial as that of Norman Mailer. In a span of more than six decades, Mailer has searched into subjects ranging from World War II to Ancient Egypt, from the march on the Pentagon to Marilyn Monroe, from Henry Miller and Muhammad Ali to Jesus Christ. Now, in his first major work of fiction in more than a decade, \u003ci\u003eThe Castle in the Forest\u003c\/i\u003e offers what may be Mailer's consummate literary endeavor: he has set out to explore the evil of Adolf Hitler. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The narrator, a mysterious SS man in possession of some extraordinary secrets, takes the young Adolf from birth through his adolescence. En route, revealing portraits are offered of Hitler's father and mother, and his sisters and brothers. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A tapestry of unforgettable characters, \u003ci\u003eThe Castle in the Forest\u003c\/i\u003e delivers its myriad twists and surprises with astonishing insight into the nature of the struggle between good and evil that exists in us all. At its core is a hypothesis that is employed with stunning originality. Now, on the eve of his eighty-fourth birthday, Norman Mailer may well be saying more than he ever has before.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49348204888368,"sku":"BDabyv","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/320656-abyv-Square.jpg?v=1734215915","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-abyv","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
