About this title

Synopsis

伟大的瑞士德语作家罗伯特·瓦尔泽首部英语传记，入选2021年美国国家书评人协会奖(NBCC Awards)传记类提名名单。作者苏珊·贝尔诺夫斯基曾将瓦尔泽多部作品译介到英语世界，备受赞誉。 罗伯特·瓦尔泽游于欧洲社会边缘，度过了不寻常的一生——他对一切不起眼的、卑微的事物表露出浓厚的兴趣，W.G.塞巴尔德称其为“洞观微物之人”。他革命性地运用短散文的形式，受到弗朗茨·卡夫卡、瓦尔特·本雅明、罗伯特·穆齐尔等众多作家的赞赏。这部考证严谨、文笔优美的传记将瓦尔泽置于二十世纪早期欧洲历史的背景之中，确立了其地位——他是最重要的现代主义作家之一。
