Produktinformationen zu „At the Edge of the Night (ePub)“

This poignant novel, beautifully translated by Simon Beattie, was, in Lampe's words, 'born into a regime where it could not breathe'; he hoped that one day it might rise again. It has no one main character, but evokes the sensations and impressions of a sultry September evening on the waterfront of Bremen, with its charm and tenderness, squalor and lust. It contains a stream of images with many characters: children, old and young people, men and women, townsfolk, performers, students and seamen. Things happen as they happen, horrible things, touching things. Its depiction of raw reality was unacceptable to the Nazis: the book was seized by them in December 1933 and withdrawn from sale.

Autoren-Porträt von Friedo Lampe

Friedo Lampe (1899-1945) was born in Bremen. A disabled gay German writer, he survived the Third Reich only to be shot by the Red Army six days before the end of the Second World War. He worked as a librarian in Hamburg before moving to Berlin to take a job with a publishing house. He wrote two novels, poetry and some short stories. His work has been translated into a number of languages, and his collected letters were published in 2018. At the Edge of the Night (Am Rande der Nacht) was his first book.
