Overview

"The greatest book ever written about the German resistance to the Nazis." - Primo Levi

This unflinching masterpiece based on a true story of resistance is more timely than ever, as fascist forces inthe 20th century find their home in the rhetoric of the modern right wing political agenda.


Entering its 15th year of Englishtranslation, the brilliant Hans Fallada's account of what The New Yorker called"a visceral, chilling portrait of ... everyday German life during the war" follows a working-class couple in Berlin and grieving the loss of their son,launch a campaign to oppose the Nazi regime.

Based on a true story from the files of the Gestapo, this sweeping saga of resistance is more relevant than ever in modern times, with the rise of right wing rhetoric echoed in global politics, and seen in increased book bannings and the reversal of womens' and LGBTQ+ rights in the US.

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 - even against impossible odds.
