Subject: Blinded by Brightness
“I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.” Revelation 17:3-5
Berlin Alexanderplatz is a doomsday story of human fates in the Babel at the end of times…
The protagonist leaves the prison and returns into the alienated capital city…
Berlin Alexanderplatz is probably the best ever written expressionistic novel – it is grotesquely revelatory and strictly apocalyptic.
The capital is swarming with people…
The city is a huge boiling cauldron in which human destinies are being cooked…
Bright lights, big city… He who lets a current carry him will be eventually caught by an undertow and will go under.

Berlin Alexanderplatz is a doomsday story of human fates in the Babel at the end of times…
The protagonist leaves the prison and returns into the alienated capital city…
Suddenly he took a run up and he was sitting in the tram, with passengers all around him. At first it felt like being at the dentist’s, when the dentist has the offending tooth gripped in his pliers and is pulling, and it feels like your head will explode with the pain.
Berlin Alexanderplatz is probably the best ever written expressionistic novel – it is grotesquely revelatory and strictly apocalyptic.
The capital is swarming with people…
They are reading newspapers of differing political stripe, keeping their balance by means of the labyrinthine passages in their ears, breathing oxygen, dozing off or looking at each other; they feel pain, feel no pain, make eye-contact, make no eye-contact, are happy, unhappy, are neither unhappy nor happy.
The city is a huge boiling cauldron in which human destinies are being cooked…
Because when worms eat soil and make more, they always eat the same stuff. The creatures can’t stop once they’ve had a healthy breakfast, they need to stuff themselves the next day as well. And it’s the same way with people, and with fire: it’s hungry if it’s burning, and when it can’t eat, it goes out, that’s the way of it.
Bright lights, big city… He who lets a current carry him will be eventually caught by an undertow and will go under.
