The Drinker
of Hans Fallada, Charlotte Lloyd (Translation), A.L. Lloyd (Translation)
Description
This astonishing, autobiographical tour de force was written by Hans Fallada in an encrypted notebook while he was incarcerated in a Nazi insane asylum. Discovered after his death, it tells the taleâoften fierce, often poignant, often extremely funnyâof a small businessman losing control as he fights valiantly to blot out an increasingly oppressive society.In a brilliant translation by Charlotte and A.L. Lloyd, it is presented here with an afterword by John Willett that details the life and career of the once internationally acclaimed Hans Fallada, and his fate under the Nazisâwhich brings out the horror of the events behind the book.
