Alone in Berlin is a novel by German author Hans Fallada, originally published in 1947. The story is set in Berlin during World War II and follows the lives of Otto and Anna Quangel, a working-class couple who decide to resist the Nazi regime after the death of their son on the front. Through acts of sabotage and silent resistance, the Quangels challenge the oppressive power of the Third Reich, risking their lives in a desperate attempt to maintain their humanity amidst the barbarity. The novel offers a moving portrait of everyday life in wartime and the individual struggle against tyranny.
Hans Fallada was a German writer of the first half of the 20th century. Some of his better known novels include Little Man, What Now? (1932) and Every Man Dies Alone (1947). His works belong predominantly to the New Objectivity literary style, a style associated with an emotionless reportage approach, with precision of detail, and a veneration for 'the fact'. Fallada's pseudonym derives from a combination of characters found in Grimms' Fairy Tales: The titular protagonist of Hans in Luck, and Fallada the magical talking horse in The Goose Girl.
