Описание: Fallada`s unrivalled and vivid portrait of life in wartime Berlin, now in paperback. Both a dark, fast-paced wartime thriller, and also a chilling portrayal of a paranoid, brutal society, where the smallest action can have fatal consequences and love only survives against the cruellist of odds. Published in German in 1947 this book was somewhat forgotten following the author`s untimely death. Published in France for the first time in 2002, it became a huge success. Penguin Classics now publishes the English translation by award-winning translator Michael Hofmann.

Описание: One of the great German writers of the 20th century draws from his own life to present a "brave, fearless, and honest" tale of one man's dark descent into depression and alcoholism (The Sunday Times, London)

This astonishing, autobiographical tour de force was written by Hans Fallada in an encrypted notebook while he was incarcerated in a Nazi insane asylum. Discovered after his death, it tells the tale--often fierce, often poignant, often extremely funny--of a small businessman losing control as he fights valiantly to blot out an increasingly oppressive society.

In a brilliant translation by Charlotte and A.L. Lloyd, it is presented here with an afterword by John Willett that details the life and career of the once internationally acclaimed Hans Fallada, and his fate under the Nazis--which brings out the horror of the events behind the book.

Описание: Now a Major Motion Picture - ALONE IN BERLIN
A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year
"To read Every Man Dies Alone, Fallada's testament to the darkest years of the 20th century, is to be accompanied by a wise, somber ghost who grips your shoulder and whispers in your ear: 'This is how it was. This is what happened.'"
--The New York Times Book Review

"I very much enjoyed the rediscovery of Hans Fallada ... a wonderful novel. Compelling."
--Ian McEwan

This never-before-translated masterpiece--by a heroic best-selling writer who saw his life crumble when he wouldn't join the Nazi Party--is based on a true story.

It presents a richly detailed portrait of life in Berlin under the Nazis and tells the sweeping saga of one working-class couple who decides to take a stand when their only son is killed at the front. With nothing but their grief and each other against the awesome power of the Reich, they launch a simple, clandestine resistance campaign that soon has an enraged Gestapo on their trail, and a world of terrified neighbors and cynical snitches ready to turn them in.

In the end, it's more than an edge-of-your-seat thriller, more than a moving romance, even more than literature of the highest order--it's a deeply stirring story of two people standing up for what's right, and for each other.

Описание: Darkly funny, searingly honest short stories from Hans Fallada, author of bestselling Alone in BerlinIn these stories, criminals lament how hard it is to scrape a living by breaking and entering; families measure their daily struggles in marks and pfennigs; a convict makes a desperate leap from a moving train; a ring - and with it a marriage - is lost in a basket of potatoes. Here, as in his novels, Fallada is by turns tough, darkly funny, streetwise and effortlessly engaging, writing with acute feeling about ordinary lives shaped by forces larger than themselves: addiction, love, money.
