Summary: A Literary Masterpiece...
Comment: The Portage to San Cristobal of A.H. is no oridinary book -- it's a literary masterpiece filled with a vexing critque of Judaism contra Fascism (Nazism in general), not to mention it is superbly written. ..., I most certainly enjoyed Steiner's open critique of Jewish hypocracy and cancerous meddling throughout the ages, and even if his remarks about the "Holocaust" may be far fetched, it is nonetheless an honest look (and almost appraisal) of Adolf Hitler ... and a great dive into Jewish religious (Talamudic) tradition and hatred for the Goy. Dr. Steiner is a great man of letters, and his Jewishness does not deter me ONE BIT when I claim that he is one of America's finest men of letters and classical literature in the last 100 years... To read The Portage...A.H. is truly first rate and highly recommend -- [for anyone]

Summary: Bluebeard's Castle revisited.
Comment: In this novel, Adolf H. did not commit suicide at the end of World War II, but escaped to South-America. After he is captured, he can defend himself for his crimes. His defence contains the same items as these developed in another book of the author 'In Bluebeard's Castle'. Adolf H. took revenge by organizing the holocaust because mankind was blackmailed three times in an absolute manner: by one terrifying almighty God, by the limitless love of his son Christ and by Rabbi-Marx, who wanted to create heaven on earth.
I found the first part of the novel 'the chase of Adolf H.' rather average.
The second part 'The defence of Adolf H.' is a powerful text, but I prefer the treatment of the same themes in his book 'In Bluebeard's Castle': a bold and compelling conjecture about the subconscious motives of the holocaust.
