The Portage to San Cristobal of A. H.
Imagine, thirty years after the end of World War II, Israeli Nazi-hunters, some of whom lost relatives in the gas chambers of Nazi Germany, find a silent old man deep in the Amazon jungle. The narrative that follows is a profound and disturbing exploration of the nature of guilt, vengeance, language, and the power of evil-each undiminished over time. He is Adolph Hitler.
"Two readings have convinced me that this is a fiction of extraordinary power and thoughtfulness. . . . George Steiner's stunning novel, now with a new afterword, will continue to provoke our thinking about Nazi Germany's unforgettable past. [A] remarkable novel."-Bernard Bergonzi, Times Literary Supplement "In this tour de force Mr.
Steiner makes his reader re-examine, to whatever conclusions each may choose, a history from which we would prefer to avert our eyes."-Edmund Fuller, Wall Street
