Recenzii
Every
so
often
you
come
across
a
book
so
finely
wrought
that
you
have
no
doubt
about
its
status
as
a
literary
classic.Iron
Gustavis
one
...
The
writing
is
visual,
vivid
and
visceral,
the
irony
delicate,
and
even
when
it
is
cynical
the
novel
doesn't
sneer
...
Fallada's
descriptions
of
material
degradation
and
squalor
equal
those
of
Dickens
and
Dostoyevsky.
He
has
the
gift
for
complex
narrative
of
Thomas
Mann
combined
with
the
page-turning
powers
of
great
thriller
writers
such
as
Raymond
Chandler,
and
the
structural
control
of
a
great
painter
or
composer
...
This
[Penguin
Modern
Classics
edition]
is
the
first
authentic
version
of
not
just
a
classic,
but
a
masterpiece
of
world
literature
A powerful portrayal of the devastating effects of the first world war on a family and a country ... The project went through a tortuous journey, with rewrites ordered by Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda chief, which have been taken out of the new edition ... this new edition is as close as possible to Fallada's original
Fallada captures the small tragedies of family life, the loss of dignity caused by unemployment, squalid housing and the misery of seeing civilized values destroyed. This anti-war book, censored by Goebbels in the Thirties, is a gripping addition to modern German history
There is a serious cause for celebration: one of the finest German-language works of the 20th century is now available as it was intended to be read ... A vivid, atmospheric portrait of Berlin ... Fallada's literary genius rests not only in how he can sustain a multithreaded narrative but in how he, apparently effortlessly, develops characters through chronicling their actions ... the book triumphs as a study of ordinary Berliners faced with dire adversity; Fallada celebrates them repeatedly, their wariness, their humour, their toughness, their blunt kindness and, above all, their conversation ... This remarkable work, now complete after 76 years, could well be one of the finest novels any of us will ever read. Hans Fallada really was that most rare creature, a born novelist who was also a witness
The 'hundreds of deep rifts' that tear defeated Germany apart play out in microcosm within [Iron Gustav's] family ... Fallada shuffles melodrama, farce and documentary realism ... This, as even Dr Goebbels must have seen, is laughter in the dark
A powerful novel ... this new version is something of a publishing coup as it is the first time we have the novel in its entirety in English ...Iron Gustavacutely highlights the chequered fortunes of the ordinary 'little man' against the larger picture of Germany's moral and economic breakdown ... [this is] a saga with the same reach and depth as Thomas Mann'sBuddenbrooks... a chronicle of Berlin in those turbulent early decades of the 20th century. Key events appear like milestones: war, Versailles, lawless street-fighting, hyperinflation, Weimar hedonism and the first dark shoots of Nazism ... This is a social history writ large and mercifully free of sanctimonious preaching or soft-focus distortions ... Fallada's voice is as beguilingly lucid as ever, his images clear to the point of stark, his blighted and resilient Berliners ringing astoundingly true
