«Solo en Berlín» is the novel by German writer Hans Fallada, published by Maeva Ediciones in paperback (576 pages, in Spanish).
In the Berlin of 1940, the Quangel couple, Otto and Anna, receive news of the death of their only son at the front. Ordinary people who have lived on the margins of the regime decide to stand up to Nazism: Otto distributes anonymous postcards against Hitler throughout the city. His campaign attracts Gestapo inspector Escherich, and their resistance becomes a risky struggle with their very lives.
Originally published in 1947 as «Jeder stirbt für sich allein»; translation by Rosa Pilar Blanco Santos. Part of the Éxitos literarios collection.
For readers of historical fiction, classics of German literature, and stories of resistance during the Second World War.
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.
