With his novel "Der 9. November" Bernhard Kellermann wrote the first bestseller of the young Weimar Republic in 1920. The events of contemporary history provided him with the material: the horrors of the First World War, the mass deaths at the front, the suffering of the population at home and the cynicism of the ruling class. The furious reckoning with the Wilhelmine Empire leads into a hymn to the November Revolution of 1918.
Hyped, it frees humanity from the spell of hatred and violence. Kellermann's book is a war novel, a social novel and a Berlin city novel all in one. Above all, however, it is the impressive literary document of a central crisis phase in German history and an evocative call for humanity and international understanding.
