Nightmare in Berlin (Fallada Collection)
Review A vital, painful examination of a devastated, morally bereft city. (The Listener)Nightmare in Berlin represents a crucial moment in Falladas realisation that it is not the ruins, but human lives that count. (Norddeutsche Zeitung)[Falladas] account of the agonized internal conflict of a writer, torn between the self-protective instinct to detach himself from the horror that surrounds him and the imperative to bear witness to it, has the appalled urgency of confession with little hope of absolution. Rawer and more unevenly wrought than Alone in Berlin, Nightmare in Berlin is the necessary precursor to that great work. (New Statesman)A tale of survival in [post-war Berlin]s ruins. (The Sunday Times)This is a tense, atmospheric, almost dreamlike novel, shifting between moods of despair and hope. It is rich in internal stories bold, strident, ironic and often ambivalent fiction. (Eileen Battersby The Irish Times)[Nightmare in Berlin] evokes the apathy and despair of postwar Germany with chilling resonance and the authors trademark humanity. (Eileen Battersby The Irish Times)A densely packed chronicle that is of both literary and historical value That this is furthermore a gripping and brilliantly written work goes without saying. (Berliner Zeitung)A strikingly honest book, a piece of human history. (Frankfurter Neue Presse)[Nightmare in Berlin] begins in gripping style and is fascinating on the mentality of a population brought to its knees. (Anthony Gardner The Mail on Sunday)The book that cleared the way for Alone in Berlin. (Jenny Williams, author of More Lives Than One: a biography of Hans Fallada)One reads the story of Dr Doll, who is crushed by a nightmarish existence in a city of ruins, with intense sympathy. (Freiheit Dsseldorf)Its easy to see why Graham Greene no small master of moral thrillers himself so admired this writer. PICK OF THE WEEK (Cameron Woodhead Sydney Morning Herald)Nightmare in Berlin is the symbol for everything that happened after the end of the war. (Der Tagesspiegel)In this splendid novel, Fallada portrays the despondency and apathy of the German people in this strange period. The last months of the war are described with masterly skill, as well as the subsequent capitulation, the arrival of the Russian troops, the way in which the middle class, the bourgeoisie must adapt to this new environment, and the moral decline of the population. (Zwiebelfisch)'Painful and poignant.' (Elizabeth Buchan Daily Mail)I was very struck by the immediacy of Falladas writing in this book - it feels fresh, modern and direct ... [his] ability to find glimpses of light amidst the darkness makes him a striking chronicler of his time. (Mariella Frostrup BBC Radio 4 Open Book)[Fallada] digs deep into the human psyche to explore guilt both collective and individual and the battle to stay sane while surrounded by chaos [His] character studies and local colour whether of gritty cityscape or lurid dreamscape prove consistently captivating A mesmerising portrait of shattered lives. (The National) Read more About the Author Hans Fallada (18931947) was the pen name of German author Rudolf Ditzen, whose books were international bestsellers on a par with those of his countrymen Thomas Mann and Hermann Hesse. He opted to stay in Germany when the Nazis came to power, and eventually had a nervous breakdown when he was put under pressure to write anti-Semitic books. He was cast into a Nazi insane asylum, where he secretly wrote The Drinker. Immediately after the war he wrote his last two novels, The Nightmare and Alone in Berlin, but he died before either book could be published.Dr Allan Blunden is a British translator who specialises in German literature. He is best known for his translation of Erhard Epplers The Return of the State? which won the Schlegel-Tieck Prize. He has also translated biographies of Heidegger and Stefan Zweig, and the prison diary of Hans Fallada. Read more
