«Das Treibhaus» is the novel by German writer Wolfgang Koeppen, published by Btb Bei Goldmann in paperback (186 pages, in German).
Set in Bonn, capital of postwar West Germany, it follows Keetenheuve, an idealistic writer and politician who clashes with the corruption and hypocrisy of the government. It is a social critique that portrays the materialism and lack of ideals of the era, with a fragmentary and experimental style that accentuates the protagonist's disillusionment.
«Das Treibhaus», originally published in 1953, is the second installment of Wolfgang Koeppen's «Trilogy of Failure» series.
For readers interested in postwar German narrative and in the critical portrayal of politics and society.
Wolfgang Arthur Reinhold Koeppen was a German novelist and one of the best known German authors of the postwar period.
