<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Die Wand''' (Eng. transl. ''The Wall'') is an award-winning 1962 novel by [[Marlen Haushofer]].<br />
<br />
The novel centers on the story of a middle-aged woman staying at a friend's house in the country. One morning she wakes to discover that she is alone, and an invisible wall has descended around her valley; it appears that beyond the wall something terrible has happened. The story then follows her as she learns to survive, grow vegetables, help her cow, etc.<br />
<br />
''Die Wand'' in its English translation has been described by one English-language commentator as a feminist ''[[Robinson Crusoe]]''. <br />
