Von allem Anfang an es una novela del autor alemán Christoph Hein, publicada en 2002. La historia se desarrolla en una pequeña ciudad de la RDA durante los años 50 y 60, y sigue la vida de un joven llamado Karl, desde su infancia hasta su adolescencia. A través de los ojos de Karl, Hein explora temas como la identidad, la sexualidad, la represión política y la búsqueda de la libertad en un régimen totalitario. La novela es una crítica sutil pero contundente a la sociedad de la RDA y a la alienación que produce en sus ciudadanos.

Christoph Hein is a German author and translator. He grew up in the town Bad Düben near Leipzig. Being a clergyman's son and thus not allowed to attend the Erweiterte Oberschule (EOS) in the GDR, he received secondary education at a gymnasium in the western part of Berlin. After his Abitur he jobbed inter alia as assembler, bookseller and assistant director. From 1967 to 1971 Hein studied philosophy in Leipzig and Berlin. Upon graduation, he became a dramatic adviser at the Volksbühne in Berlin, where he worked as a resident writer from 1974. Since 1979 Hein has worked as a freelance writer.
