Franz Biberkopf leaves prison after a sentence for the death of his wife and resolves to lead an honest life.

The narrative reproduces the clamour of the great city and delves into the underworld of prostitutes, thugs and petty criminals.
The book belongs to the collection «Du monde entier» and includes the new translation from German by Olivier Le Lay and a text by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. The novel originally appeared in 1929.
Aimed at readers interested in the European novel of the interwar period and in twentieth-century German literature.
