Beschreibung

"Was wäre, wenn Adolf Hitler nie geboren worden wäre?" Diese Frage beschäftigt den jungen Cambridgestudenten Michael Young und seinen Professor Leo Zuckerman. Der Wunsch, den Holocaust ungeschehen machen zu können, wird so übermächtig, daß sie beschließen, eine Zeitreise zu unternehmen. Sie landen in Braunau am Inn im Jahr 1888 und es gelingt ihnen zu verhindern, daß Frau Hitler einen Sohn und das deutsche Volk einen Führer geschenkt bekommt. Die Weltgeschichte scheint zum Besseren gewendet. Jedoch zurück in der Jetztzeit muß Michael Young am eigenen Leib die Folgen seines Eingriffs erfahren... Michael Young is a brilliant young history student whose life is changed when he meets Leo Zuckerman, an ageing physicist with a theory that can change worlds. Together they realise that they have the power to alter history and eradicate a great evil. But tinkering with timelines is more dangerous than they can imagine and nothing - past, present or future - will ever be the same again.

Making History is funny, moving, romantic and told with Stephen Fry's characteristic skill and brilliance.
