«Das Treibhaus» is the novel by German writer Wolfgang Koeppen, published by Suhrkamp Verlag in paperback (196 pages, in German).
Set in Bonn in the 1950s, the novel follows a member of parliament trying to assume his political responsibility in the young Federal Republic. Between campaigns, diplomacy and deals, Koeppen describes a climate of opportunism and corruption that stifles convictions, turning parliament into a «hothouse» of ambitions.
This edition belongs to the Suhrkamp Taschenbuch series (no. 78) and is the second instalment of Wolfgang Koeppen's Failure Trilogy. The novel was originally published in 1953.
For those seeking a novel of political criticism within the framework of post-war German literature.
Wolfgang Arthur Reinhold Koeppen was a German novelist and one of the best known German authors of the postwar period.
