Lost Boy in the City of Culture

Zusatztext

This autobiography is a memoir of everyday life in the GDR, life in Weimar in the period before the Wall came down, and the many experiences and harassment in real existing socialism by the Stasi and the totalitarian SED state. In addition, the author joined hooligan groups in East and later in West Germany and consumed hard drugs such as cocaine and LSD. Andritzke's retrospective is a bitter indictment against all regimes of this world and a resounding ode to freedom. Last but not least, this book is a motivation for all those whose live has gone off the rails: It's never too late to make a fresh start.

Autorenportrait

Steffen Andritzke grew up in Weimar, in the former GDR. He got to know the true face of the totalitarian SED state already as a child. Later he got on the wrong track (drugs and soccer riots) and, after putting in great efforts, he managed to lead a good life again.
