About the Author

Hans Fallada was one of the best-known German writers of the twentieth century. Born on 21 July 1893 in Greifswald as Rudolf Wilhelm Adolf Ditzen, he took his pen name from a Brothers Grimm fairy tale. His most famous works include the novels Little Man, What Now?, The Drinker and the bestselling Alone in Berlin. Fallada died from an overdose of morphine on 5 February 1947 in Berlin. Michael Hofmann is the author of several books of poems and a book of criticism, Behind the Lines, and the translator of many modern and contemporary authors. Penguin publish his translations of Fallada's Alone in Berlin and Short Treatise on the Joys of Morphinism, Kafka's Amerika and Metamorphosis and Other Stories, Ernst Junger's Storm of Steel and Irmgard Keun's Child of All Nations.
