Informationen zum Autor Prior to WWII! the novels of German writer Hans Fallada (born Rudolf Ditzen) were international bestsellers. But when Jewish producers in Hollywood made his 1932 novel! Little Man! What Now? into a film! the rising Nazis began to take note of him. By the end of World War II he'd suffered an alcohol-fueled nervous breakdown and was in a Nazi insane asylum! where he nonetheless managed to write--in code--the brilliant subversive novel! The Drinker. After the war! Fallada went on to write Every Man Dies Alone! but he died in 1947 of a morphine overdose! just before it was published. Klappentext Set in Weimar Germany soon after Germany's catastrophic loss of World War I! the story follows young veteran Wolf! a handsome! amiable and shiftless young man! addicted to the thrill of gambling. Recklessly losing everything in Berlin! a city in chaos! he flees to the countryside. It is here he find his redemption! finding gainful employment and healing himself! away from the temptations of the city. Fast-moving as a thriller! fascinating as the best historical fiction! and with lyrical prose that packs emotional punch! Wolf Among Wolves is the equal of Fallada's acclaimed Every Man Dies Alone (Alone in Berlin) as an absorbing work of important literature.
