Alone In Berlin stars Brendan Gleeson and Emma Thompson as an ordinary middle-aged working class couple, Otto and Anna Quangel, just trying to keep their heads down in 1940s Berlin. But when their son is killed on the battlefield, grief sparks them into defiance. They begin writing anti-fascist postcards bearing small truths like “Mothers, Hitler Will Kill Your Son Too” and leaving them in public places.
Their story comes from the 1947 novel, Every Man Dies Alone, by German writer Hans Fallada. It wasn’t published in English until 2009, after Melville House publisher Dennis Johnson got a tip from designer Diane von Fürstenberg.
“She said it’s just a crime nobody’s reading Hans Fallada in English anymore,” says Johnson. “So I went off in pursuit.”
‘Alone In Berlin’ Features The Story That Continues To Revise And Resonate
From The Spring Fairy (1902).
