20 Works 105,536 Books 1,619 Reviews 4.0
For nearly 350 years, the German novel has used everything from history to philosophy to war to explore the nature of the human spirit. Its novels are not characterized by their length or their show more subject matter, but rather by their devotion to the cerebral. Whether it be the social realism of the 1800’s or the metafictional explorations of post-war life, the literary movements that dominated Europe throughout the ages served only as templates upon which these authors tackled some of life’s more prescient questions. show less
