Fabian/法比安

This book is a representative novel by German writer Erich Kästner, describing the story of Jacob Fabian, a young man in Berlin in the early 1930s, who was looking for his place in the city. As a fledgling college student, Fabian tried to pursue true self-expression and realize his ideals in the glitz and glamour, but encountered many obstacles and eventually became an inappropriate bystander. The author Kästner depicts the growth and loss of a small person in a humorous and sharp style, reflecting the confusion and struggle of people in that era between self-realization and adaptation to the environment. The work is full of literary artistry and ideological enlightenment.
