Dall'autore di bestseller Alone in Berlin, il suo acclamato romanzo su una giovane coppia che cerca di sopravvivere alla vita nella Germania degli anni '30 "Niente mette una donna di fronte alla mortale futilità della sua esistenza come rammendare calzini" Una giovane coppia si innamora, si sposa e mette su famiglia, come innumerevoli giovani coppie prima di loro. Ma Lämmchen e "Boy" vivono a Berlino nel 1932 e tutto sta cambiando. Mentre cercano disperatamente di arrivare a fine mese tra capi prepotenti, bollette non pagate, suocere mostruose e nazisti di strada, l'amore sarà sufficiente? Il romanzo che ha reso famoso Hans Fallada come scrittore, Little Man, What Now? racconta la storia di una delle coppie più toccanti della letteratura europea ed è pieno di uno straordinario mix di commedia e disperazione. È stato pubblicato poco prima che Hitler salisse al potere e rimane un ritratto inquietante di innocenti il cui mondo sta per essere spazzato via per sempre. Questa nuova brillante traduzione di Michael Hofmann riporta in vita un'intera era di austerità e tumulti nella Germania di Weimar. "Un'opera ispirata di un grande scrittore. Fallada è un genio. Il "piccolo uomo" è Mr Everybody" Beryl Bainbridge "Ci sono capitoli che mettono a dura prova i nervi. Ci sono capitoli che sollevano gli spiriti come una bella giornata in campagna. La verità e la varietà della caratterizzazione sono superbe. Riconosce che il mondo non deve essere alterato con favole morali" Graham Greene "Fallada merita grandi elogi per aver raccontato in modo così realistico, così veritiero, con tanta vicinanza alla vita" Herman Hesse "Fallada al suo meglio" Philip Hensher "Esegue il compito più sbalorditivo, quello di portarci a un momento prima della storia" Los Angeles Review of Books.

Hans Fallada was born in Germany in 1893. His life was checkered by a failed adolescent suicide pact in which his friend died, addiction to morphine and alcohol, periods of incarceration in prison and mental hospitals, and brushes with the Nazi regime. His most famous novels include Little Man, What Now?, The Drinker and Alone in Berlin, written in 24 days. Fallada died weeks before its publication, in February 1947 in Berlin.
