Meer over het boek

The novel is recognized as a pioneering example of collectivistic literature, aiming to depict a comprehensive view of society by intertwining individual narratives into a broader social framework. It offers a cross-section of the social structure, reflecting the complexity of urban life and the interconnections among its inhabitants. The exploration of these themes contributes to the understanding of modernist avant-garde movements and their impact on literature.
