"Gehirne: Novellen" by Gottfried Benn is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The stories delve into themes related to the human experience, often exploring the psyche, existential concerns, and the intersection of life and death, all through the lens of characters like Rönne, a doctor who grapples with his own identity ...
Rönne, a young doctor who has recently transitioned from a pathologically focused role to a more routine position in a sanatorium. As he travels through Southern Germany, he reflects on his experiences with corpses and his sense of disconnection from the world around him. His thoughts are filled with melancholy and introspection as he goes through various interactions—both with patients and fellow staff—while grappling with the burden of his profession and the broader implications of life, death, and healing. The narrative sets an introspective tone, inviting readers to ponder the intricacies of existence through Rönne's observations and experiences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
