Every Man Dies Alone

This never-before-translated masterpiece&#151;by a heroic best-selling writer who saw his life crumble when he wouldn&#146;t join the Nazi Party&#151;is based on a true story.<br><br>It presents a richly detailed portrait of life in Berlin under the Nazis and tells the sweeping saga of one working-class couple who decides to take a stand when their only son is killed at the front. With nothing but their grief and each other against the awesome power of the Reich they launch a simple clandestine resistance campaign that soon has an enraged Gestapo on their trail and a world of terrified neighbors and cynical snitches ready to turn them in.<br><br>In the end it&#146;s more than an edge-of-your-seat thriller more than a moving romance even more than literature of the highest order&#151;it&#146;s a deeply stirring story of two people standing up for what&#146;s right and for each other.
