Berlin, 1940. The city lives under fear and the Nazi regime. When the Quangels receive news of their son's death at the front, they decide to act against the Third Reich. Despite being ordinary people with no apparent power, Otto and Anna Quangel rebel against barbarism, refusing to be complicit in the widespread silence. 'Alone in Berlin' describes the inner resistance of ordinary people against Nazism.
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.
