This book contains an adapted text of the famous novel "North and South" by the English writer Elizabeth Gaskell.

The events take place in the northern city of Milton, where the Hale family is moving from southern Helston. Successful industrialist John Thornton becomes a student of Mr. Hale, who, having renounced the priesthood, works as a teacher. Thornton meets Margaret Hale, who impresses him with her kindness, dignity and willpower.
Berlin, Summer 2011. Adolf Hitler wakes up on a patch of open ground, alive and well. Things have changed - no Eva Braun, no Nazi party, no war. Hitler barely recognises his beloved Fatherland, filled with immigrants and run by a woman. People certainly recognise him, albeit as a flawless impersonator who refuses to break character. The unthinkable, the inevitable happens, and the ranting Hitler goes viral, becomes a YouTube star, gets his own T.V. show, and people begin to listen. But the Führer has another programme with even greater ambition - to set the country he finds a shambles back to rights.
