Lost in Translation
Lost in Translation (2003)

IMDB rating: 7.90

Plot: Bob Harris is an American film actor, far past his prime. He visits Tokyo to appear in commercials, and he meets Charlotte, the young wife of a visiting photographer. Bored and weary, Bob and Charlotte make ideal if improbable traveling companions. Charlotte is looking for “her place in life,” and Bob is tolerating a mediocre stateside marriage. Both separately and together, they live the experience of the American in Tokyo. Bob and Charlotte suffer both confusion and hilarity due to the cultural and language differences between themselves and the Japanese. As the relationship between Bob and Charlotte deepens, they come to the realization that their visits to Japan, and one another, must soon end. Or must they?

In the UK are there any booksellers that supply Mein Kampf in the original German?
It’s for my history course, I’ve read the English version but things are always lost in translation so I feel I would benefit from reading the German.

They have it on Ebay and Amazon but for upwards of ?100 and I really can’t afford that.


In the UK, you are subjects of her majesty, not citizens like in the USA, Therefore how do you expect to get mein kamphf when you are not even allow to get THE ROYALS from a public bookshop?.

Try a College or University library
and just check it out!
Doesn’t anybody use actual libraries anymore.?
Books are FREE there, even in other languages.

I’ve had a quick look online, there’s a very large bookshop in my local area, but they are selling it for ?120.

However, I have found this link:

http://radioislam.org/historia/hitler/mk ampf/pdf/ger.pdf

It is the entire text in German but as a pdf file online. At first, I thought only the first page had scanned correctly, but you need to scroll down to page 4 for the actual text to start.

I hope this helps you!

Ask a Library Reference Centre. They could probably order the book for you.

The only English person (apart from myself) I have met who had read Mein Kampf in German was my mother, and that was before WWII. I think you might have difficulty finding it in a library in the UK.
I agree with you that any English translation might be a bit warped. Try to find a German site selling second-hand books. I bought my copy from a second hand bookshop in Switzerland, although I got some funny looks from the people working there.
By the way, I’m not a Hitler fan!

I doubt that you’ll be able to get it for under ?100, and I dont think that any library is going to stock it, but if you find somewhere that does, be prepared for some odd looks.
