It's strange but not unusual that the most gifted people (no matter whether they are/were writers, musicians, painters, dancers, scientists...) have/had very troubled lives.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-82250491999399996042015-03-09T18:36:44.322+01:002015-03-09T18:36:44.322+01:00This sounds interesting, but it is not a free Kind...This sounds interesting, but it is not a free Kindle book for me, so it may take some time to get to it, alas.<br />I'm sorry to read about the author's difficulties in life...Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-64406266931712629752015-03-08T08:20:41.572+01:002015-03-08T08:20:41.572+01:00I loved watching movies from the 1930s/40s to the ...I loved watching movies from the 1930s/40s to the 50s and 60s, and I had my "phases": There was a phase when I loved pirates films (with Errol Flynn!) and other costume dramas (Robin Hood, Ivanhoe...), and then there were some really great ones called "Revue-Film" in German, which involved lots of people dancing and singing on stage.<br />Books are always welcome, even though I have to think good and hard about where they can go once I've read them - space is always an issue!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-68073735286427863812015-03-08T08:17:37.499+01:002015-03-08T08:17:37.499+01:00When I was researching the author's life for t...When I was researching the author's life for this review, I came across "Jeder stirbt für sich allein", too. He seems to have finished that one shortly before his own death. Knowing this will maybe make the reading experience more poignant.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-34141875813094827482015-03-07T20:19:09.644+01:002015-03-07T20:19:09.644+01:00I recognize Margaret Sullavan and Alan Hale (Jr. n...I recognize Margaret Sullavan and Alan Hale (Jr. not Sr.), but not the book's title or the movie. When I was a teenager, I watched movies from that time period on a TV channel that showed them from the 1930s and 1940s. How wonderful to get a stack of books for your birthday!Nonnie USAhttp://nonniesobservations.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-64515581124607180222015-03-07T20:09:35.622+01:002015-03-07T20:09:35.622+01:00I recognise this title and also the names, but I c...I recognise this title and also the names, but I can't remember whether I read the book or perhaps saw the movie... Or was there also a TV series?... Ah yes, checking the German Wiki page it seems there was; back in the 70s - I think it might have been shown on Swedish television. <br />I have another Fallada novel downloaded on my Kindle (Jeder stirbt für sich allein).DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.com
