It was the turning point before he became a bestselling author: Hans Fallada handed himself in to the police in September 1925, following repeated cases of embezzlement to finance his alcohol and morphine addiction. At the time, a court-appointed doctor was assigned to assess the extent to which Fallada could be made accountable. This expert opinion, thought to have been lost, was only recently rediscovered. It is an extraordinary find, because it includes unpublished and rewritten stories by Fallada that focus on hitherto taboo topics such as abortion.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK Pedro Páramo este primul roman scris de Juan Rulfo (1955). De la apariția lui, felul în care s-a scris literatură în limba spaniolă s-a schimbat radical. Modul excepțional în care este dezvăluit sufletul mexican poate fi propriu oricărei alte culturi. Personajele sale, reale, ca și cum ar fi trăit în această lume, ne cer socoteală fără să aibă nevoie de o prezență concretă a autorului, în același timp trăind în lumi îndepărtate. Totul până când descoperim ceea ce n-am fi bănuit niciodată.

Historien ender i Amsterdam, og slutningen kommer unægtelig bag på de efterladte mænd.
