SYNOPSIS
A prophetic, darkly comic lost classic about down-and-outs in a fractured Berlin by the author of the Sunday Times bestselling rediscovery The Passenger
‘A writer of great insight and talent’ FT
Berlin, 1920s: a beacon of culture and hedonism, but a political mess. The streets are crowded with war veterans, beggars, prostitutes and madmen, desperately chasing any means to secure a few marks or a roof over their heads. Come nighttime, a rag-tag group descends on the Jolly Huntsman pub to dance and drown their cares in all the schnapps they can afford. But in this society on the brink, pleasure all too easily erupts into violence.
A bleakly comic story of struggle and discontent on the fringes of the metropolis, Berlin Shuffle is a blistering portrait of a divided society that would give way to fascism. Written when he was just twenty-two years old, Boschwitz’s first novel displays his extraordinary talent for capturing Germany’s self-destruction, which would tragically engulf him only five years later.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz
Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz nasceu em Berlim em 1915. Emigrou para a Escandinávia em 1935, onde publicaria o seu romance de estreia, Menschen neben dem Leben, graças ao qual pôde depois mudar-se para Paris e estudar na Universidade de Sorbonne. Após um período na Bélgica e no Luxemburgo, seguiu para o exílio em Inglaterra na companhia da mãe.
É na sequência da Noite de Cristal, em 1938, que escreve, em apenas quatro semanas, O Passageiro, um romance de traços autobiográficos que seria de imediato traduzido para língua inglesa, numa versão não definitiva. Com a eclosão da Segunda Guerra Mundial, Boschwitz foi enviado para a Austrália onde viveu num campo de internamento.
Em 1942, teve autorização para regressar a Inglaterra, mas o navio onde viajava foi atingido por um torpedo alemão ao largo da costa dos Açores, causando a morte de todos os ocupantes. Boschwitz tinha vinte e sete anos.
