【Editor's Recommendation】
⭐ Robert Walser, the founder of modern German literature, presents his first novel in a brand new way!
He is praised as "a walker who missed time", "an observer of subtleties", and "a poet whose fate is like snow".
He is a buried genius writer who has been persistently writing books and biographies for the little people throughout his life.
He is as famous as Musil and Kafka, has a profound influence, and is posthumously recognized as the founder of modern German literature.
Robert Walser - "Berlin Trilogy" + Selected Stories, Directly Translated from German, New Translation Published Together!
⭐ Your favorite authors love Robert Walser!
Franz Kafka, Walter Benjamin, Hermann Hesse, Stefan Zweig, Thomas Bernhard, Elias Canetti, Winfried Sebald, Martin Walser, Susan Sontag, JM Coetzee, Peter Handke… all highly recommended!
⭐ An unemployed vagrant's Odyssey, a declaration against internal friction by refusing to be a screw. When a screw decides to loosen the nut of the social machine, it refuses to step into the tide of the era of meritocracy and fatigue.
When a young person finds that he is not suitable for work, he turns to live an authentic life without any utilitarian purpose.
Simon Tanner, a homeless man, said:
"I can't stay in any job for long. The cramped and filthy office environment has sapped my youthful energy."
This is a grand tour for street urchins, street urchins, and scoundrels...
⭐ One of the "Berlin Trilogy", a naked work that resonates with Walser's personal life. In Berlin, in order to focus on writing, he never devoted himself to any long-term job.
When you are short of money, you take odd jobs, and when you have enough money, you quit your job, and the cycle repeats;
I lived with my brother in the city and was taken care of by my sister in the countryside.
These experiences are transformed into the protagonist Simon's experiences and integrated into this dreamy and sad first novel.
Written at the age of twenty-eight, Walser predicted his own death - "lying stiff under a fir tree in the snow."
Designed by renowned young designer Xihe, this small-format, square-spine hardcover features a cool, mountain-inspired design. The spine is finished with a textured, four-color Yuhua paper, depicting the natural environment surrounding the Swiss writer.
The cold and solemn cover is like the consistent tone of German literature, like making fire in the snow, with a cold face and a warm heart;
The cover is made of red rain flower paper, and the square spine is 110*185, which is elegant and compact, making it worry-free when going out.

【Celebrity Recommendation】
If Walser had a hundred thousand readers, the world would be a better place.
—Hermann Hesse It is in the works of Robert Walser that we first notice an extraordinary, indescribable sense of sparseness. This emptiness is weight, this confusion is perseverance—this is the fact that the reader can think of when reading Walser's works.
——Walter Benjamin Walser's works are full of tenderness, fantasy, freedom and rich moral connotations, which remind people of those non-utilitarian and lazy years.
—Robert Musil: The moral core of Walser's art lies in the resistance to power and domination... Walserian virtues can only be found in the most sophisticated and elegant works of art. He is the Paul Klee of words, the good-tempered Beckett, a truly brilliant and heartbreaking writer.
—Susan Sontag How can one understand a writer tormented by shadows yet who ignites the softest light on every page, a writer who creates humorous sketches out of the purest despair, a writer who almost always writes about the same things but never repeats himself, a writer who stands firmly on the ground yet is always lost in the clouds? Walser has always been my constant companion.
—Winfried Sebald Walser’s style is difficult to imitate because it hangs over an abyss that no one has yet been able to penetrate…But Walser’s characters, with a certain a priori balance, smoothly walk on the edge of the abyss and almost dance on it.
—Giordio Agamben Walser’s best qualities are in his short stories, which examine the watercolor shades of mood with the slightest irony, and in his essays, which deal with the ebb and flow of emotion with the sensitivity of a butterfly’s wing. His own uneven life, heartbreaking in its own way, is his only real subject matter.
——JM Coetzee [Introduction]
Simon, the youngest son of the Tanner family, does nothing and is idle.
He kept resigning and giving up one stable job after another.
Wandering aimlessly in the world.
He gained wonderful emotions during his colorful journey.
His eldest brother Klaus is worried about him, and his sister Hedwig takes him in;
The second brother Kashpa was wandering around like him, while the third brother Emir was in a miserable situation.
The family scattered across the land leads a lonely life.
