Man dies alone

Author's name: Hans Fallada

"One of the greatest novels ever written about World War II. Fallada experienced the Nazi hell himself, so every word rings true. An unmissable novel."

Alan Forrest

Primo Levi described it as "the greatest book ever written about the German resistance to the Nazis." That's a modest description, really. It's a powerful, dense novel that grips as if it were charged with electricity.

Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Alone Dies carries the same tension found in the novels of John le Carré, offering a painful and terrifying portrait of the uncertainty that loomed over daily life in Germany during the war.”

The New Yorker

"One of the most original literary works about life during the Nazis' long nightmare."

New York Observer

"The publication of this novel is a remarkable literary event, offering penetrating insights into a troubled man in a troubled time, with more detail and understanding than most historians of the era. It's as if you're accompanied by a wise, serious spirit, holding your arm and whispering in your ear: This is how things were. This is what happened."
