Alone in Berlin
Alone in Berlin

Defiance against Nazi oppression in wartime Berlin.

This book is a powerful portrayal of ordinary people's resistance against Nazi rule during World War II. Through the story of the Quangel family, it captures the fear, courage, and determination of individuals who chose to defy the oppressive regime. The silent campaign of defiance embarked upon by the Quangels is both inspiring and heart-wrenching, as they navigate a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Gestapo. Hans Fallada's haunting narrative and his ability to bring characters to life make this a compelling and unforgettable read for anyone interested in the resilience of the human spirit in the face of tyranny.

Description

A gripping portrait of life in wartime Berlin and a vivid study of how paranoia warps a society living under the fear of a nightly knock at the door. Inspired by real events, Hans Fallada's Alone in Berlin follows Otto and Anna Quangel, a quietly courageous couple who, in dealing with heartbreak, resist the brutal reality of the Nazi regime. With the smallest acts of defiance, they challenge Hitler's rule, facing grave consequences. Translated and adapted by Alistair Beaton (Feelgood, The Trial of Tony Blair), this timely tale of the moral power of personal resistance follows the Gestapo's hunt for the perpetrators as Otto and Anna become players in a deadly game of cat and mouse. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at the Royal and Derngate Theatre in February 2020.
