«Ein fliehendes Pferd» is Martin Walser's novella, published by Suhrkamp in paperback (126 pages, in German).
Helmut Halm, a grammar-school teacher, and his wife Sabine are spending the summer on Lake Constance; the arrival of a former classmate, Klaus Buch, with his young wife Hel breaks the apparent calm. The novella contrasts two ways of life and portrays with irony the tension between the two men, their self-deceptions and the fragility of the couple.
The original text dates from 1978; this Suhrkamp edition, in paperback and with 126 pages, was published in 2002.
For readers of twentieth-century German novellas who appreciate an intimate story with psychological observation and irony.
Martin Johannes Walser was a German writer, known especially as a novelist. He began his career as journalist for Süddeutscher Rundfunk, where he wrote and directed audio plays. He was a member of Group 47 from 1953 on.
