Description
Little Man, What Now? by Hans Fallada is a poignant portrayal of love and survival in 1930s Germany. As the world around them changes, a young couple struggles to make ends meet amidst economic hardship and personal turmoil. The novel, first published before Hitler's rise to power, offers a haunting glimpse into the lives of innocents whose world is about to be swept away forever. With its unique blend of comedy and desperation, this book tells the story of one of European literature's most touching couples. A new translation by Michael Hofmann brings to life an entire era of austerity and turmoil in Weimar Germany, revealing the truth and variety of characterization that makes Fallada a genius.
