马库斯·沃尔夫（德语：Markus Johannes "Mischa" Wolf、1923年1月19日－2006年11月9日）是德意志民主共和国国家安全部（简称史塔西）对外情报局（Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung）局长。沃尔夫在史塔西是仅次于国家安全部部长的第二号人物，他在史塔西服务34年，其中有26年的时间，西方情报单位完全没有沃尔夫的档案照，仅知他的代号“米夏（Mischa）”，因此得到“没有脸的人”的称号。沃尔夫的神秘难以捉摸成为后世许多小说的题材。许多专家认为他是冷战期间最有影响力的特务首脑之一。

[Reading A Man Without a Country is] like sitting down on the couch for a long chat with an old friend.” –The New York Times Book Review In a vo...(展开全部)

A Man Without a Country is Kurt Vonnegut's hilarious and razor-sharp look at life ("If I die-God forbid-I would like to go to heaven to ask somebody in charge up there, 'Hey, what was the good news and what was the bad news?'"), art ("To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."), politics ("I asked former Yankees pitcher Jim Bou...(展开全部)
