Explanation

Muller, born in 1953, is renowned for her depiction of the harsh conditions under Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu's regime. She immigrated to Germany in 1987, after being dismissed from her job in Romania during the 1970s due to her refusal to co-operate with the regime's secret police. A few of the author's works have been translated into English, including The Passport' (1986), The Land of Green Plums' (1994) and The Appointment'. 2007 Nobel Laureate Doris Lessing is the author of the books: Martha Quest (1952), A Proper Marriage (1954), A Ripple from the Storm (1958), Landlocked (1965) and The Four-Gated City (1969).
