Berge Meere und Giganten : Roman by Alfred Döblin
"Berge Meere und Giganten" by Alfred Döblin is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book is likely a speculative or science-fictional epic, exploring the evolution and transformation of society, technology, and power structures across centuries. Rather than following a single protagonist, the narrative seems to focus on broad societal shifts and collective characters as humanity confronts monumental changes and challenges. The opening of the book is dense and sweeping,
outlining the aftermath of a cataclysmic war and the subsequent transformation of human civilization. Döblin employs poetic, almost mystical language to describe the forces of nature and humanity's entanglement with them, painting a picture of a world where technology, social upheaval, and cultural fusion reshape continents. The narrative quickly moves into depictions of the rise and fall of populations, the dominance of machinery and industry, societal unrest, and power struggles among ruling classes in a futuristic vision of Europe and Africa. Personal conflicts and collective anxieties about identity, tradition, and adaptation to change are touched on through illustrative episodes, providing a vivid panorama of a world in flux at the dawn of a new era.
