Gottlosen Jahre

gottlosen Jahre

by Alfred Wolfenstein

Alfred Wolfenstein's "Gottlosen Jahre" is a collection of poems that reflects the turbulent early 20th century in Germany. The poems, written in the style of Expressionism, are characterized by their stark imagery, emotional intensity, and introspective nature. Wolfenstein grapples with themes of uncertainty, existential angst, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. The poems explore themes of alienation, social injustice, and the breakdown of traditional values. They provide a glimpse into the psychological landscape of a generation grappling with the aftermath of World War I and the rise of new ideologies. Wolfenstein's work is a testament to the power of poetry to capture the complexities of human experience and the spirit of a particular era.
