Description

Alfred Döblin's Manas is a remarkable work of fiction that blends Hindu mythology and existentialism in a vibrant narrative. Written with great verve, this novel presents a unique blend of styles and voices. Doblin was one of the lesser-known major German writers of the 20th century, but his reputation has grown since his death in 1957. This book is one of his most significant works, published in 1929 and eclipsing all others in his output. Doblin sought to create a new kind of fiction, moving away from traditional bourgeois novel conventions. Manas is conceived as a symphony, with themes and motifs that unfold at varying tempos, employing an orchestra of voices. This approach allows the work to pursue enduring human concerns over several decades, making it a substantial and thought-provoking read.
