# Die drei Sprünge des Wang-lun: Chinesischer Roman

By Alfred Döblin.

"Die drei Sprünge des Wang-lun: Chinesischer Roman" by Alfred Döblin is a historical novel published in 1916. It follows Wang-lun, a Chinese rebel who led an uprising against Emperor Qianlong in the late 18th century. From his rough beginnings as a wandering thief and scoundrel, Wang-lun transforms into the leader of outcasts and vagabonds. He embraces Taoist philosophy and the principle of Wu-wei—non-action and non-resistance—as he confronts questions of passive versus active resistance against oppressive power.
