Once Upon a Time in Germany

Once Upon a Time in Germany is a prequel to 1984, The 18-Year-Old Who Wrote a Note and Disappeared. It is about the boy's father, whose approach to life is completely different from his son's.

Born at the beginning of the Third Reich and educated during the Second World War, he completes his studies in the first workers' and farmers' state by learning, working and performing hard.

Having been married three times and divorced twice, and being the father of four children, he dedicates himself to pursuing a career and earning a decent living-refusing to allow himself to be corrupted by adverse circumstances.

In this book, he recounts with clarity and precise language how an apparently ordinary life works beyond the Wall. Until the day his son returns from the future.
