As a child, only just survive a horse-kick. As a youngster, kill a friend in a suicide attempt. As a young adult, get trapped in drug addiction: morphine, alcohol, tabaco. Move continuously through health resorts, mental health institutions and prisons. Distance yourself from your parents. Have impossible love-affairs and make yourself impossible in love-affairs. Become the best-selling author in Germany with ‘Little man, what now’, just before the Nazi’s come to power in 1933. Stay in Germany during the whole Nazi-period. In 1946, write a devastating, 700-pages anti-Nazi novel, ‘Alone in Berlin’, in just 10 weeks. Die two months later. This, in short, is the life of Hans Fallada.
