by Hans Fallada
Every Man Dies Alone
“Hans Fallada’s Every Man Dies Alone is one of the most extraordinary and compelling novels ever written about World War II. Ever. Fallada lived through the Nazi hell, so every word rings true—this is who they really were: the Gestapo monsters, the petty informers, the few who dared to resist. Please, do not miss this.”
—Alan Furst, author of Spies of Warsaw
“The greatest book ever written about German resistance to the Nazis.”
—Primo Levi
“An unrivalled and vivid portrait of life in wartime Berlin.”
—Philip Kerr, author of the Berlin Noir series
The Drinker
“Fallada deserves high praise for having reported so realistically, so truthfully, with such closeness to life.”
—Herman Hesse
“Profound in its psychological insight and in language sparse yet explosive, this is a novel both shocking and original.”
—Beryl Bainbridge
“… genuinely tragic and beautiful … Fallada’s perfectly horrifying, horrifyingly perfect novel is the story of himself rejected by society and returning the insult.”
—The New Statesman
“This is an heroic book, brave, fearless and honest. It is necessary reading.”
—Sunday Times (London)
