A Grim Reaper with Powers from Almighty God

The Punishment Begins

How Is One to Live If One Doesn’t Want to Die?

A Hammer Blow to the Head Can Injure the Soul

A Handful of People in the Depths of Silence

Love Has Its Price

Remember—An Oath Can Be Amputated

The Sun Warms the Skin, But Burns It Sometimes Too

About the Eternities Between the Many and the Few

Loneliness Tears Cracks of Madness Even in Walls

Knowledge Is Power and the Early Bird Catches the Worm

The Serpent in the Soul of the Serpent

The Outside and the Inside and the Secret of Fear of the Secret

My Dream of the Dream of Franz Biberkopf by Alfred Döblin, An Epilogue
