The stories written by Hans Fallada, one of the most important names of 20th century German literature, known for his novels such as Little Man What Happened to You, Everyone Dies Alone, and At the Table of Wolves, meet the reader for the first time.
Fallada's stories published in various newspapers and magazines were buried in the darkness of archives for years, until a research conducted in 2017... These stories, which emerged while new studies were being conducted on the author's biography, are a real discovery for the literary world! Hunchback draws a profile of Germany in the 1920-1940 period and tells the story of a society trying to survive despite poverty and injustice. These twenty-four stories, which bear the traces of Fallada's difficult teenage years, are written in the author's characteristic realistic, simple and lucid style.
