S1: Ep2 - Alfred Döblin's Epics: What? How?
from Epic Worlds of Alfred Döblin
Nine epic novels stand out for their scope and ambition amid Döblin’s enormous output of novels, short stories, plays, reviews, and essays on politics and literature. Each epic presents a vivid, three-dimensional world in powerful language that penetrates below the surface to deeper realities. The varied settings (18th century China; Europe in the Thirty Years War; techno-hubris in the 27th century; …) all present responses to a persistent concern: the place of individuals in societies and in the world.
