Immerse yourself in the epic work 'Berlin Alexanderplatz', the most important novel about the big city in German literature. Alfred Döblin combines interior monologue with the technique of the photographic camera to create a rhythm that powerfully dramatizes the state of the human being in a world that disintegrates. The novel explores concepts of happiness, honor, love and solidarity from the perspective of the lower classes, through its protagonist, the porter Franz Biberkopf, who lives in harmony with his environment and longs for something more than a simple livelihood.
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.
