«Seul dans Berlin» is Hans Fallada's novel, published by Denoël in paperback (558 pages, in French).
Berlin, 1940: in a building on Jablonski Street, persecutors and persecuted cross paths. A Jewish neighbor is denounced and robbed; a young SS man terrorizes his family; the Quangel couple, after losing their son, distribute postcards against Hitler until they are arrested. Primo Levi singled it out among works about the anti-Nazi resistance.
Hans Fallada is the pen name of Rudolf Ditzen. The French edition, translated from German, was published in 2002.
Aimed at readers of historical fiction and stories of resistance during 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.
