Description
Anna Funder's Stasiland tells the extraordinary stories from the underbelly of former East Germany, a country where the secret police's headquarters could become a museum overnight, and one in fifty citizens were informers. The book is a collection of personal tales, including those of a young woman who might have started the Third World War, and the man who painted the line that became the Berlin Wall.
Through her stories, Funder sheds light on a country where the authorities once declared a man 'no longer exist'. She also shares the experiences of those who lived under the watchful eye of the secret police, and the ways in which the fall of the Berlin Wall brought about a new era of freedom and reunification.
Stasiland is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of a complex and fascinating period in history.
