Discovered after his death, it tells the tale-often fierce, often poignant, often extremely funny-of a small businessman losing control as he fights valiantly to blot out an increasingly oppressive society.In a brilliant translation by Charlotte and A.L. Lloyd, it is presented here with an afterword by John Willett that details the life and career of the once internationally acclaimed Hans Fallada, and his fate under the Nazis-which brings out the horror of the events behind the book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52227728113952,"sku":"NEW1933633654","price":19.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81Usc9YKcLL.jpg?v=1787347933","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-drinker-1933633654","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
