In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell; shortly afterward the two Germanys reunited, and East Germany ceased to exist. Anna Funder�s bestselling Stasiland brings us extraordinary tales of real lives in the former East Germany. She meets Miriam, who tried to escape to West Berlin as a sixteen-year-old; hears the heartbreaking story of Frau Paul, who was separated from her baby by the Berlin Wall; and gets drunk with the legendary �Mik Jegger of the East,� once declared by the authorities�to his face��no longer to exist.� And she meets the Stasi men themselves, still proud of their surveillance methods. Funder�s powerful account of that brutal world has become a contemporary classic.
