Plot summary, “Berlin Alexanderplatz” by Alfred Doblin in 5 Minutes - Book Review VIDEO
Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929) by Alfred Döblin is a seminal modernist novel set in pre-World War II Germany. It follows Franz Biberkopf, a recently released ex-convict, as he struggles to reintegrate into society and lead an honest life. However, Berlin’s chaotic underworld drags him back into crime, culminating in personal betrayals, violence, and tragedy. Through a fragmented, expressionistic style, Döblin paints a vivid portrait of Berlin’s streets, exploring themes of fate, morality, and the inescapability of one's past. The novel is considered one of the most significant works of 20th-century literature.
