No Mercy - Modern Classics

“I grasped the essence of the epic best in Döblin. His epic texts and epic theory have deeply influenced my dramatic art.”

- Bertolt Brecht -

Berlin in the 1920s: A widow moves to the big city with her three children and begins to struggle to survive in poverty. After a while, the eldest of the children, Karl, becomes unlucky and the family moves up the social ladder. But a major economic crisis that shakes the entire country, and even the world, will turn everything upside down.

Alfred Döblin, the founding name of contemporary German literature with his masterpiece Berlin Alexanderplatz, is at the peak of his mastery with this epic novel. No Mercy not only introduces us to the unforgettable character of Karl, but also takes the art of the novel to its peak while telling the social panorama of Germany from the 20s to the 30s in a magnificent language.

“Döblin was my only real teacher.”

- Günter Grass -
