For Willi Kufult, prison life means staying out of trouble, keeping
his cell clean, snagging a precious piece of tobacco - and dreaming
of the day of his release. Then he gets out. As Willi tries to make
a new life for himself in Hamburg, finding a job and even love, he
still cannot escape his past. Gradually he becomes sucked into a
world of drink, desperation and deceit, and with one terrible act,
he is ensnared in a noose of his own making... Hans Fallada's dark
and moving 1934 novel brilliantly describes a seedy criminal
underworld of shabby lives and violent deeds, showing how our
actions always catch up with us.
