El pueblo traicionado (II-1)

by Alfred D blin, Carlos Fortea (Translator)

Overview

The betrayed people form a close unity especially with the Return of the Front Troops, and in it Döblin shows a Berlin where some inhabitants live in miserable conditions, while others know how to take advantage of the opportunities that war offers to unscrupulous merchants , to the big and small scammers, and also to the political opportunists. These are small personal stories that form a splendid mosaic in which, in perspective, we can also see the confrontations that are taking place as a result of the negotiation of the Treaty of Versailles, which will soon completely change the situation throughout Europe.

About the Author

Alfred Döblin has gone down in the history of universal literature as the author of one of the great novels of the 20th century, Berlin Alexanderplatz, but if this great work has overshadowed the rest of his narrative, it is largely due to the historical context in which his life trajectory developed. Döblin studied medicine and, after specializing in neurology and psychiatry, worked in various asylums and sanatoriums. At the same time, he began his literary career in the expressionist magazine Der Sturm and with the publication of the book of short stories The Murder of a Buttercup, which would be followed by the novels Die drei Sprünge des Wang-lun and Wallenstein, before the success of Berlin Alexanderplatz.
