1. Я, мои друзья и героин
A stark first‑person memoir of a teenage girl's descent into heroin addiction in 1970s West Berlin, tracing how curiosity and peer pressure lead her and her friends into the Bahnhof Zoo drug scene; it details the violence, theft and prostitution used to feed their habit, failed attempts at rehabilitation, strained family relationships and the cold indifference of institutions, offering an unflinching portrait of lost youth and the human cost of addiction.
