Berlin Stories

Серия: "-"

A New York Review Books Original In 1905 the young Swiss writer Robert Walser arrived in Berlin to join his older brother Karl, already an important stage set designer, and immediately threw himself into the vibrant social and cultural life of the city. Berlin Stories collects his alternately celebratory, droll, and satirical observations on every aspect of the bustling German capital, from it's theaters, cabarets, painters galleries, and literary salons, to the metropolitan street, markets, the Tiergarten, rapid-service restaurants, and the electric tram. Originally appearing in literary magazines as well as the feuilleton sections of newspapers including the Berliner Tageblatt, the Vossische Zeitung, and the Frankfurter Zeitung, the early stories are characterized by a joyous urgency and the generosity of an unconventional guide. Later pieces take the form of more personal reflections on the writing process, memories, and character studies. All are full of counter-intuitive images and vignettes of startling clarity, showcasing a unique talent for whom no detail was trivial, at grips with a city diving headlong into modernity.

Walser, Robert

(15 abr. 1878, Biel, Suiza–25 dic. 1956, Herisau).

Narrador y poeta suizo. Después de abandonar sus estudios, a los 14 años, tomó lecciones de contabilidad, e intentó sin éxito convertirse en actor. Ejerció diversos y humildes oficios: botones, oficinista, aprendiz de bibliotecario y librero. Su vida estuvo marcada por una sensación de aislamiento y soledad que se vería reflejada en su producción literaria, que influenció a algunos de los más célebres escritores del s. XX, como Franz Kafka, Robert von Musil y Elías Canetti. Entre sus obras destacan las novelas Los hermanos Tanner (1907), El ayudante (1908) y Jakob von Gunten (1909), donde plasmó su particular visión de la vida cotidiana de Berlín, ciudad a la que se había trasladado en 1905. En 1909 regresó a Biel, donde siguió escribiendo y comenzaron a manifestarse los primeros síntomas de su esquizofrenia. En 1930 fue internado en el hospital psiquiátrico de Herisau, donde permaneció hasta su muerte. Sus escritos, inicialmente acogidos sólo por otros novelistas, comenzaron a interesar a un público amplio después de su muerte.
