Considered her greatest literary achievement, Marlen Haushofer's The Wall is the story of one quite ordinary, unnamed middle-aged woman who awakens to find she is the last living human on Earth. Surmising her solitude to be the result of a too successful military experiment, she begins the terrifying work of t only survival, but self-renewal. First published in English more than twenty years ago, Quartet Books are proud to issue a brand new edition for 2013.
