Döblin's epic journey into Indian mythology follows the prince Manas, who, returning from a terrible battle, wishes to be "torn apart, crushed" in the realm of the dead. When his corpse is brought back, his wife Sawitri refuses to believe in her beloved's death and sets out to bring him back to life. This visually powerful, modern epic explores themes of love, loss, and the struggle against fate, presenting a narrative that is as bold as it is successful, and as extraordinary as it is surprising.
