About this title

Synopsis

"Fallada deserves high praise for having reported so realistically, so truthfully, with such closeness to life."-Hermann Hesse

"Superb."-Graham Greene

This is the book that led to Hans Fallada's downfall with the Nazis. The story of a young couple struggling to survive the German economic collapse was a worldwide sensation and was made into an acclaimed Hollywood movie produced by Jews, leading Hitler to ban Fallada's work from being translated.

Nonetheless, it remains, as The Times Literary Supplement notes, "the novel of a time in which public and private merged even for those who wanted to stay at home and mind their own business."

About the Author

Hans Fallada was an internationally bestselling German writer who, unlike his peers Mann and Brecht, remained in Germany after the Nazi take-over. After one of his books was made into a Hollywood movie with a Jewish producer, he was prevented from publishing abroad. At war's end he was incarcerated in an insane asylum, and died soon thereafter.
