Ich Will - Paperback

Adrian Norton is a nerdy, narcissistic university student. When his parents become unable to pay for his education, he starts working full time to save up for school. Meanwhile, his friend Nathan, a student who comes from a rich family, finishes his undergraduate studies and prepares to go to Oxford for graduate school. Tormented by envy and self-pity and repulsed by his social and financial situation, Adrian finds temporary escape in the study of Adolf Hitler's speeches and proclamations coupled with the hypnotic rhythms of German industrial metal. His outbursts of delusional megalomania are cut short by a brief, accidental encounter with Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy. Adrian is rocked to the core by Nietzsche's idea of the Eternal Return of the Identical. This young man decides to take control of his destiny and fight the oppressive social system - in a very unorthodox way.
