Mailer takes a detour to the coronation of Nicholas II. We are given diary entries of Nicholas II and Alexandra. Both have sense of foreboding. Nicholas does not look forward to his time as a Tsar. They believe the ministers and Russian aristocrats are all working for their own good and not for the good of Russia. Then we are taken to the stampede of Khodynka. It is well plotted by the devil and his allies.

Alois Hitler takes his family to a village after retirement. He wants to become an apiculturist and buys a farm. Mailer creates this animalistic world that oozes sex and carnality - Adolph's relationship with mother and half sister, mating habits of queen bees, a horse bathed by Adolph's sister while he looks on with jealousy. I wish Mailer would get a move on now. His style of excess does not work always.

Alois, Hitler's father had to take the permission of the Vatican to marry his niece Klara (Alois daughter according to Mailer). The devil was present in the room the night Adolph was conceived. This really is great biography of Hitler told as a memoir of the demon who made him do what he did. A Hitler biography with supernatural elements. Very good so far.
