In the summer of 1905, Robert Walzer graduated from the school of domestic servants and got a job with a footman in the castle of Dambrau. Jacob von Gunten (1908), the third novel of the future classic of German-Swiss literature, autobiographical as metaphorical. The most beloved by the author, the novel was highly appreciated by Franz Kafka. “The closed, uncomfortably living space, turned inside out”, this was determined by the world of the writer Mikhail Shishkin, finding in it everything necessary for further development in Kafka"s prose.
However, readers and criticism of the beginning of the 20th century did not enjoy success, unlike the previous work of Valser - the novel Assistant (1907) There is a completely clear explanation for this: the Swiss writer moved away from the traditional manner of the narrative, pushing the reader into an unfamiliar territory of the new narrative, where the recording diaries a reality mixed with dreams and fantasies. Potyrri from fictional and real, poetry and truth, captured by one of the most sophisticated stylists of his time.
In 1995, the novel was filmed by the followers of Vladislav Starevich and Yana Shvankmeier - American directors of the Kwai brothers. Their Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life is an example of an elegant transposition from absurd literature on a celluloid film, marked by a number of premiums and nominations of international film festivals
