Hans Fallada's anti-Nazi classic becomes surprise UK bestseller

«A little-known thriller about the German resistance against the Nazis has become the sleeper hit of the summer – more than 60 years after it was written.
Now it has finally been translated into English, Hans Fallada's Alone in Berlin is taking bestseller lists by storm on both sides of the Atlantic. In the UK alone, Penguin Classics has sold more than 100,000 copies in just three months and is expecting to exceed 250,000 sales within the year – astonishing figures considering that most English novels barely sell a few thousand copies.»
