The German novelist Hans Fallada was born
Rudolf Ditzen; he took his pseudonym from a Grimm Brothers story. Three of his
novels have recently been published in English translations. The best known of
them, LITTLE MAN, WHAT NOW?, was
written in 1932 during the difficult period that led to the rise of the Nazis.
It charts the economic and social uncertainties a young couple faces in the
waning days of the Weimar
Republic. Richly evoking
both the physical and psychic realities of the period, it was an international
bestseller in the early 1930s and was made into a film—which earned
Fallada the close attention of the Nazis. Available in paperback.
