Wallenstein. I und II. (of 2) by Alfred Döblin Und wenn es in der literarischen Moderne einen Roman gibt, der von einer entfesselten, grenzenlosen Tatsachenphantasie angetrieben wird, dann ist es Döblins ›Wallenstein‹ aus dem Jahr 1920. Mit seinen opulenten und schockierenden Bildern vom Dreißigjährigen Krieg spiegelt der Roman nicht nur den zeitgenössischen Wahnsinn des Ersten Weltkriegs wider, sondern er verweist bereits auf die Barbarei, die noch kommen wird.

Bruno Alfred Döblin (August 10, 1878 – June 26, 1957) was a German novelist, essayist, and doctor, best known for his novel Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929). A prolific writer whose œuvre spans more than half a century and a wide variety of literary movements and styles, Döblin is one of the most important figures of German literary modernism. His complete works comprise over a dozen novels ranging in genre from historical novels to science fiction to novels about the modern metropolis; several dramas, radio plays, and screenplays; a true crime story; a travel account; two book-length philosophical treatises; scores of essays on politics, religion, art, and society; and numerous letters—his complete works, republished by Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag and Fischer Verlag, span more than thirty volumes. His first published novel, Die drei Sprünge des Wang-lung (The Three Leaps of Wang Lun), appeared in 1915 and his final novel, Hamlet oder Die lange Nacht nimmt ein Ende (Tales of a Long Night) was published in 1956, one year before his death.
