Greenhouse (part Two of the Postwar Trilogy)

(germany) Wolfgang Köppen

134K0

"Hothouse" is the second volume of Wolfgang Koepen's "Postwar Trilogy" and was hailed as "a rediscovered master work" by Publishers Weekly. The novel tells the story of the last two days of the life of Kitneuf, a small German politician. Kitneuf, who returned from exile, hoped to realize his ambition to rebuild his motherland, but Germany's entry into the European Defense Community and the return of militarization ruthlessly destroyed his ideals. Facing political corruption, he felt depressed and disappointed, and the sudden death of his wife made him even more devastated. In the end, Kitneuf, the eternal loser, ran onto the Rhine bridge leading to Biel... In "Greenhouse", Kopen combined a variety of writing techniques such as stream of consciousness, surrealism and confessional writing to depict the death of an idealist in a sharp and desperate tone. The social picture shown in "Greenhouse" is highly consistent with the social and cultural atmosphere of the time, and is considered to be the most outstanding work describing the nihilism of post-war Germany.

They each have their own thoughts, wandering around Rome, a city full of ancient myths and historical relics, trying to face the heavy past in their own way. Kepen once again demonstrates his unique creative style in this book: precise observation, delicate description, multiple perspectives, and introspective narrative. He captured the characters' inner and moral dilemmas with great insight, explored the conflict between personal destiny and social change, and conducted a profound interrogation of the soul of a nation. The conflict of social change tortures the soul of a nation from four perspectives: war, bureaucracy, religion, and art.
