      In 1978 Christiane F. testified against a man who had traded heroin for sex with teenage girls at Berlin’s notorious Zoo Station. In the course of that trial, Christiane F. became connected with two journalists, and over time they helped to turn her story - which begins with a dysfunctional but otherwise fairly normal childhood - into an acclaimed bestseller. Christiane F.’s rapid descent into heroin abuse and prostitution is shocking, but the boredom, the longing for acceptance, the thrilling risks, and even the musical obsessions that fill out the rest of Christiane’s existence will be familiar to every reader. Christiane F.’s Berlin is a strange and often terrifying place, but it’s also a place that remains closer than we might think….

      Mijn tweede leven; de cultfiguur en antiheldin van een generatie is terug - Druk 1

      Miljoenen mensen zijn met de mythe Christiane F. opgegroeid. Het boek en de gelijknamige film Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo, over de Berlijnse subcultuur van verslaafde kindhoertjes, sloegen in als een bom. Nu, vijfendertig jaar later, vertelt Christiane voor het eerst haar hele verhaal. Ze is inmiddels de vijftig gepasseerd en vecht nog steeds tegen haar verslaving. Samen met journaliste Sonja Vukovic heeft Christiane haar leven samengevat: haar avonturen met rockidolen als David Bowie en Nina Hagen, haar drugsexcessen, haar gelukkige jaren in Griekenland, en het gevecht om haar zoon. Het resultaat is een hoopvolle autobiografie. De voltooiing van een verhaal dat het levensgevoel van een generatie verwoordt en daarmee ook een document is van een tijdgeest.

    • Pareceu-nos que a história de Christiane dizia muito mais sobre a situação de uma parte da juventude do que qualquer relatório. Esta história é excepcional e, ao mesmo tempo, de todos os dias. Fala-nos de relações familiares deformadas, da passagem da infância à adolescência num ambiente de cimento e consumo passivo, mortal para a fantasia, da falta de orientação dos adolescentes e do diálogo entre eles e os adultos. Até o que esta história contém de mais excepcional se repete milhares de vezes: a: penetração da heroína nas discotecas, nos lares juvenis, nas escolas; a prostituição juvenil; a miséria em determinados meios sociais , que continua até hoje escondida da consciência pública. Christiane F. queria que se escrevesse este livro porque se sentia levada a romper o vergonhoso silêncio que rodeia o tema.
