Description
Franz Biberkopf, pimp and petty thief, has just finished serving a term in prison for murdering his girlfriend. He's on his own in Weimar Berlin with its lousy economy and frontier morality, but Franz is determined to turn over new leaf, get ahead, make an honest man of himself, and so on and so forth. He hawks papers, chases girls, needs and bleeds money, gets mixed up in various criminal and political schemes in spite of himself, and when he tries to back out of them, it's at the cost of an arm. Though Franz is more dupe than hustler, in the end, well, persistence is rewarded and things might be said to work out.

And all about the Frankfurt Topfmarket -- Lina takes it to the queers -- The Neue Welt, in Hassenheide, if it's not one thing it's another, no need to make life any harder than what it is already -- Franz is a man of some scale, and he knows what's what -- The scale of this Franz Biberkopf. A match for the heroes of old -- Yesterday on the backs of steeds ... -- Today, shot through the chest he bleeds -- Tomorrow in the chill tomb, no, we'll keep our composure -- A handful of people round the Alex -- Biberkopf anaesthetized, Franz curls up, Franz doesn't want to see anything -- Franz, on the retreat, plays a farewell march for the Jews -- For as with animals, so it is with man; the one must die, the other likewise -- Conversation with Job, it's up to you, Job, you don't want to -- And they all have one breath, and man has no more than the beasts -- Franz's window is open, sometimes amusing things happen in the world -- Hopp, hopp, hopp, horsey does gallop -- Reunion on the Alex, bitching cold. Though next year, 1929, will be even colder -- Nothing for a while, pause for rest and recuperation -- Booming trade in girls -- Franz reflects on the trade in women, and suddenly he's had enough, and wants something else -- Local news -- Franz takes a calamitous decision.

It continues rainy -- Franz breaking and entering, Franz not under the wheels, he's in the box seat now, he's made it -- Love's weal and woe -- Dazzling harvest in prospect, but miscalculations have been known to happen -- Wednesday, 29 August -- Saturday, 1 September -- Franz notices nothing, and the world goes on its way -- A few bonds are loosened, the criminals fall out among themselves -- Keep your eyes on Karl the plumber: something's going on with him -- Things come to a head, plumber Karl gets caught and spills some beans -- So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun -- And behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter -- Then I praised the dead which are already dead -- The fortress is completely surrounded, the last sallies are undertaken, but they are nothing but diversionary tactics -- Battle is joined. We ride into hell with a great fanfare -- The Police HQ is on Alexanderplatz -- Reinhold's Black Wednesday-but this section can be skipped -- Buch insane asylum, closed ward -- Dextrose and camphor injections, but in the end a different consultant is involved -- Death sings his slow, slow song -- And now Franz hears the slow song of Death -- In which is described what pain is -- Departure of the evil harlot, triumph of the great sacrifice, drummer and axe-swinger -- Beginnings are difficult -- Dear Fatherland, don't worry, I shan't slip again in a hurry -- And by the right quick march left right left right. | |
