The archive of experimental author Eva Figes, including her correspondence with the Booker prize-winning writer John Berger, has been acquired by the British Library for £20,000.

Figes, whose German Jewish family fled Germany for England in 1939 after her father was temporarily imprisoned in Dachau concentration camp, is the author of novels including the Guardian fiction prize-winning Winter Journey, the story of an old man dying alone in a council house first published in 1967.
