Download Once a Jailbird: A Novel AudioBook Free

For Willi Kufult, jail life means keeping yourself out of trouble, keeping his cell clean, snagging a treasured piece of tobacco, and thinking of the day of his release. Then he gets out. As Willi will try to produce a new life for himself in Hamburg, finding employment and even love, he still cannot break free his past. Slowly and gradually he becomes sucked into an environment of drink, desperation, deceit, and, with one dreadful act, he is ensnared in a noose of his own making. Hans Fallada, whose famous works include Exclusively in Berlin and The Drinker, brilliantly crafts this deep and moving book, at first written in 1934, as he explains a seedy unlawful underworld of shabby lives and violent deeds, showing how our activities always catch up with us. His work is unparalleled, and Once a Jailbird is an excellent title to add to Fallada's just lately translated works.
