  Short Description for Wolf Among WolvesThis sweeping saga of love in dangerous times - the 1923 collapse of the German economy, when food and money shortages led to rioting in the streets and unemployed soldiers marauding through the countryside - is deemed by many to be Hans Fallada's greatest work. Yet its 1938 publication made his publisher so fearful of Nazi retribution that he told Fallada, "If this book destroys us, then at least...

Reviews for Wolf Among Wolves

• Wolf Among Wolves by Hans FalladaBook rating: 5

  â?~Wolf among Wolves' by Hans Fallada is, quite simply, a masterpiece of its genre. Set in 1923 Germany, here is witting testimony of the collapse of the German economy and the mindset of the people at the time. Its characters are dark, desperate and full of invention on how to circumvent their lives. The original German edition was published despite fears of Nazi retribution. Fallada's novel is that rare specimen: written at the time, not from hindsight, with events happening all around him as he wrote. In fact, he had to walk a political tightrope even to get his defiant novel published. Nazi propaganda and censorship were everywhere. Yet, here are the perils, fears and anxieties of ordinary people trying to live with the Mark rising from 350,000 to the dollar in the morning to as much as 414,000 Marks by the afternoon. Not only has Fallada written a great tome of a novel, some 1100 pages in its unabridged version, he has infused such beautiful prose that it makes the soul sing. Pure poetry in motion. Although first published in 1937 in Germany, this beautifully-written novel is only now available in English. Publisher: Melville House, ISBN 978-1-933633-92-3. by G. Green
