woman inherits a house along with a mysterious safe from her grand aunt that turns out to be a time capsule

Picture Perfect

The niece found a number of pictures, documents, and books. She indeed had found a treasure of a different kind. The first thing that attracted her the most was the pictures. She took all of them out and saw if she recognized anyone. Well, she could not recognize many of them but was pretty sure that all of them were relatives. And then her attention got diverted to another compartment that was holding something historical…….

Book That Reigned

She saw a copy of Mein Kampf! The book is an autobiography of Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler. Well, one might not consider this discovery to be a big deal as millions of copies were made after the publishing of the original one. But this one was special in the sense that it was printed during the time Hitler was unleashing his terror all around the world. She learned that this copy got published in 1943 after going through some research work.

Dark Past

Furthermore, she learned that the book could be traded for $350. However, selling or insuring a book as controversial as this one would involve a lot of hardships. After all, the book was written by someone who symbolized terror, violence, and destruction in his time. So the book represented all these things too. 

Rob Roy

So what else did she find? She got her hand on a novel Rob Roy written by Sir Walter Scott. This book was battered from its corner that clarified that it was read multiple times by its owner. Whoever owned this book must have loved this one. This was a new experience for the lady too. She felt like if she was time traveling. She had traveled to the past.       

Leipzig

There were many renowned books. The next she found was Leipzig, published in 1846. Whereas the copy of Mein Kamph that she had found was published during the reign of Hitler, this one was published much earlier. She imagined her great aunt trotting all around Europe with this novel.   

Small Library

The safe was itself a tiny library. She discovered a copy of Lady and the Tramp. In contrast to the popular belief that it is the name of a classic Disney movie, it is originally a novella written for children.
