In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell; shortly afterwards the two Germanies reunited, and East Germany ceased to exist. In Stasiland, winner of the 2004 Samuel Johnson Prize, Anna Funder tells extraordinary tales from the underbelly of the former East Germany, a country where the headquarters of the secret police can become a museum literally overnight, and one in fifty East Germans were informing on their countrymen and women. She meets Miriam, who as a sixteen-year-old might have started the Third World War, visits the man who painted the line which became the Berlin Wall and gets drunk with the legendary 'Mik Jegger' of the East, who the authorities once declared - to his face - to 'no longer exist'.

“Stasiland demonstrates that great, originalreporting is still possible. . . . A heartbreaking, beautifully written book. Aclassic.” —Claire Tomalin, Guardian “Books ofthe Year” AnnaFunder delivers a prize-winning and powerfully rendered account of theresistance against East Germany’s communist dictatorship in these harrowing,personal tales of life behind the Iron Curtain—and, especially, of life underthe iron fist of the Stasi, East Germany’s brutal state security force.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I catch the underground to Leipzig, a couple of hours from Berlin. It’s snowing outside. I move through the slush to where I know there are toilets. The large woman in a purple apron and loud makeup at the bottom of the steps is guarding her stash of condoms and tissues and tampons. #2 I can’t smell anything anymore. The train travels through northern Germany, and I can feel myself falling asleep. I remember my mother’s moustache in the sun, my adolescent hunger, and the burnt chalk smell of tram brakes in summer. #3 I visited Leipzig in 1994, five years after the Wall fell in November 1989. I was looking for the Stasi museum, which had formerly been the Stasi offices. The Stasi was the internal army by which the government kept control. It knew everything about everyone, using any means it chose. #4 I visited the Runden Ecke, the area where the Stasi headquarters was located. The citizens’ committee that was in charge of the museum had mounted displays on cheap particleboard screens. There were pictures of protesters occupying the building on December 4, 1989.

Entdecken Sie 30 Jahre nach dem Mauerfall »Stasiland« neu. In einer Welt totaler Überwachung durch die Stasi erzählt die australische Autorin Anna Funder in ihrem internationalen Bestseller von mutigem Widerstand und der Macht des Gewissens. – Exklusiv mit einem aktuellen Nachwort der Autorin. Als Anna Funder 1987 zum ersten Mal nach Berlin kam, verliebte sie sich in die zweigeteilte Stadt. Nach dem Fall der Mauer kehrt sie zurück und trifft in Ostberlin überall Menschen, die den Mut besaßen, sich der Diktatur zu widersetzen. Sie trifft Miriam, die von Jugend an in Konflikt mit der Stasi lebt, einen alternden Rock-Star, der nach dem System »nicht mehr existierte« sowie einen jungen Stasi-Mitarbeiter, der den Verlauf der Mauer plante. Aber es gibt auch Spione und Stasi-Offiziere, die weiter an die »Firma« glauben. Mutig, offen und unbelastet, in einer perfekten Mischung von Einfühlung und Distanz, erzählt Funder deren spannende Geschichten, die unsere Gegenwart bis heute prägen. »Anna Funder untersucht auf menschlichste und einfühlsamste Weise Lebensgeschichten, die von der Staatssicherheit in Ostdeutschland zerstört wurden.« J. M. Coetzee »Wahre Geschichten aus dem Land hinter der Berliner Mauer – kein anderes Buch hat mich in den letzten Jahren so gepackt. Es ist faszinierend, unterhaltsam, witzig, erschreckend und absolut wichtig.« Tom Hanks

One September morning, elderly Ruth Wesemann wakes to the sound of a parcel being delivered to her door. Inside she finds a tattered little notebook. Opening its delicate pages she meets with a flood of memories... It's 1933 and she is back in her light-filled flat in Berlin. Hans is making caipirinhas, snow falls outside the kitchen window, and Hitler is making his first speech as Chancellor of Germany. Her life and those of her tight-knit group of friends are about to change beyond all recognition. Having dedicated themselves to resisting the Nazi's rise, they have become hunted outlaws overnight. Fleeing the country, Ruth and Hans find refuge in a basement flat in Bloomsbury, but inspired by Ruth's fearless cousin Dora, they defy the conditions of their visas and risk being sent back to Germany in order continue their dangerous resistance work. But with each breathtaking act of courage and every person that they trust, they cannot help but risk betrayal and deceit. And then, one day, they face the chilling realisation that Hitler's reach extends much further than they had thought, even to London itself. Inspiring, tragic and based on real events, All That I Am is a masterful and devastating novel of bravery and betrayal, of the risks and sacrifices that people endure to protect their beliefs and of discovering remarkable heroism hidden in the most unexpected of places.

På en mark lidt uden for Århus findes en mand myrdet. Det viser sig, at han er udenrigskorrespondent på et stort bladhus, der ser det som sin fornemmeste pligt at hylde frisind, demokrati og ytringsfrihed. Hurtigt rettes mistanken mod en af bladets egne journalister. Men sagen er ikke just ukompliceret, da en serbisk agent i Danmark bliver samtidig mistænkt for at have forbindelser til mordet. Skal moderen findes blandt bladets egne? Er det en overlagt og velkalkuleret forbrydelse eller et udtryk for affekt? "Stasiland" er en fortsættelse af den anmelder roste "Svamp". Bøgerne kan læses uafhængigt af hinanden.
