Immerse yourself in the life of Robert Walser with 'The Walk', a jewel of Central European literature. Through the eyes of a poet who goes for a walk, Walser presents us with an alternation between the beauty of life and the absurdity of social conventions. With exquisite prose and subtle irony, this book is a sample of Walser's art, admired by great writers such as Kafka and Thomas Mann.
Robert Walser was a German language Swiss writer. He additionally worked as a copyist, an inventor's assistant, a butler, and in various other low-paying trades. Despite marginal early success in his literary career, the popularity of his work gradually diminished over the second and third decades of the 20th century, making it increasingly difficult for him to support himself through writing. He eventually had a nervous breakdown and spent the remainder of his life in sanatoria.
