Life! That's what Franz Biberkopf wants. Disoriented, he stumbles through a metropolis that threatens to engulf him. Between pub crawls and urban escapades, Biberkopf, a perpetrator of violence against women, dreams of dominance, self-empowerment, and big business. He becomes entangled in sexual adventures, petty crime, and a diabolical dependence on the crook Reinhold. Power struggles, overconfidence, and violence cost him his right arm—and ultimately, the life of his lover, Mieze.
