«Berlín Alexanderplatz» is the modernist novel by Alfred Döblin, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (520 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Franz Biberkopf, an ex-convict trying to rebuild his life in Weimar Republic Berlin, where a precarious economy and borderline morality condition his search for redemption. Döblin combines narration, commentary and urban vignettes in a disconcerting tale open to interpretation.
It is number 340 in the Letras Universales collection and is edited by Miguel Sáenz. This is the 2nd edition, published in 2003.
A classic 20th-century work of fiction, for adult readers interested in the European novel and in interwar Berlin.
Bruno Alfred Döblin was a German novelist, essayist, and doctor, best known for his novel Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929). A prolific writer whose œuvre spans more than half a century and a wide variety of literary movements and styles, Döblin is one of the most important figures of German literary modernism. His complete works comprise over a dozen novels ranging in genre from historical novels to science fiction to novels about the modern metropolis; several dramas, radio plays, and screenplays; a true crime story; a travel account; two book-length philosophical treatises; scores of essays on politics, religion, art, and society; and numerous letters—his complete works, republished by Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag and Fischer Verlag, span more than thirty volumes. His first published novel, Die drei Sprünge des Wang-lung, appeared in 1915 and his final novel, Hamlet oder Die lange Nacht nimmt ein Ende was published in 1956, one year before his death.
