«Hamlet» is the novel by Alfred Döblin, published by Ediciones B in hardback (664 pages, in Spanish).
It tells the story of Edward Allison, an English soldier who returns home after the Second World War suffering from a severe neurosis. Döblin uses innovative language and a break with the tradition of the German bourgeois novel, and his knowledge of psychology introduces the reader to the protagonist's mind.
Translation by Luis Bredlow of the German original Hamlet oder die lange Nacht nimmt ein Ende. The edition is from 1989.
For readers of twentieth-century German fiction and literary expressionism, with an interest in the psychological exploration of characters.
Bruno Alfred Döblin was a German novelist, essayist, and doctor, best known for his novel Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929). A prolific writer whose œuvre spans more than half a century and a wide variety of literary movements and styles, Döblin is one of the most important figures of German literary modernism. His complete works comprise over a dozen novels ranging in genre from historical novels to science fiction to novels about the modern metropolis; several dramas, radio plays, and screenplays; a true crime story; a travel account; two book-length philosophical treatises; scores of essays on politics, religion, art, and society; and numerous letters—his complete works, republished by Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag and Fischer Verlag, span more than thirty volumes. His first published novel, Die drei Sprünge des Wang-lung, appeared in 1915 and his final novel, Hamlet oder Die lange Nacht nimmt ein Ende was published in 1956, one year before his death.
