The perilous pursuit of happiness
The youthful lord of Strammin is only expected to deliver 400 hundredweight of wheat to Stralsund's harbor. But then things take a turn for the worst. He meets the lovely Catriona, is kidnapped by a notorious Pomeranian roughneck, rises to the throne of Ückelitz Castle, and sails to Hiddensee with a cunning professor.
Fallada's soldier of fortune, on the other hand, finds love at the end of his adventurous journeys.
Growing Up is a delightful and upbeat tale about growing up.
Biography
Rudolf Ditzen, pseudonym Hans Fallada, was born in Greifswald in 1893, the son of a high-ranking judicial officer. He attended a humanistic grammar school but did not complete his education and worked as an agricultural apprentice. He worked as a field laborer, court inspector, and accountant from 1915 to 1925, and as an address clerk, advertisement collector, and publishing house employee from 1928 to 31. 'Der junge Goedeschal' was his debut novel in 1920, and he has been a freelance writer since 1931. Fallada gained popular across the world with his extensively translated novel "Young Gentleman - What Now?" (1932). During the Nazi period, he lived in solitude on his six-acre farm in Mecklenburg as a "undesirable author." He relocated to Berlin in 1945 and died there in 1947.
