Description
Lilly and Her Slave is a collection of previously unpublished short stories by Hans Fallada, one of Germany's most celebrated authors. In 1925, Fallada handed himself in to the police, desperate to escape his struggles with addiction. Now, court documents from his imprisonment have been uncovered, revealing a new generation of readers to his remarkable writing.
Through complex characters at odds with society, Fallada explores the lives of women and male outsiders in these stories. His writing offers a glimpse into the intense inner battles that shaped his own life, as well as those of others who lived on the fringes of society.
This collection sheds new light on Fallada's immense literary gifts and provides a unique insight into the author's personal struggles. For readers interested in psychological fiction, women's literature, or 20th-century German literature, Lilly and Her Slave is a fascinating and thought-provoking read.
