Moi, Christiane F, 13 ans, droguee, prostituee... - Une generation perdue

The shockwave from the book *Christiane F., 13 Years Old, Drug Addict, Prostitute...* made West Germany tremble in the late 1970s. Very young teenagers were caught in the deadly spiral of heroin addiction and died. The country, still silent about its recent past, became aware that its children were adrift and excluding themselves from a society they utterly rejected. Christiane's story is an example of what not to do, an example that fascinates.
