Wolf Among Wolves
This sweeping saga of love in dangerous times is deemed by many to be Hans Fallada's greatest work. Set amidst the 1923 collapse of the German economy, it is a vivid portrayal of the food and money shortages that led to rioting in the cities and unemployed soldiers marauding through the countryside-a depiction of unrest that made Fallada's publisher so fearful of Nazi retribution that upon the book's 1937 publication he told him, If this book destroys us, then at least we'll be destroyed for something that's worth it.

Über den Autor
Prior to World War II, 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 major motion picture, the rising Nazi Party took notice of him. After he refused to join the Party and was denounced by neighbors for alleged anti-Nazi sympathies, Fallada, unlike many other prominent artists, decided not to leave Germany. During WWII he suffered an alcohol-and-drug-fueled nervous breakdown and landed 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, based on an actual Gestapo file, but he died in 1947 of a heart attack—brought on by drug abuse just before it was published.
