Abstract

In this article, the results of the book review of the novel “Sonne und Beton” by Felix Lobrecht are recorded. In addition to a brief author profile, the four main characters are examined and compared with each other. In addition, the language of the novel, which is characterized by the youth language and the Berlin dialect, is analyzed. Finally, the Gropiusstadt, where the novel is set, is discussed and what role the place plays not only in the novel Sonne und Beton, but also in the novel “Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo” by Christiane F.
