Discover something new from Hans Fallada: Some of the anecdotes, reports, stories and speeches collected here, which range from the mid-1920s to his death in 1947, are little known or have not yet been published. They reveal the extent to which the author develops a unique feeling for social problems, sensitively observes reality and finds artistic means to design worldly stories with just a few strokes - humorous, ironic, sometimes sarcastic. However, Fallada's belief in the 'decency of man' is always unshakable.
