| Summary |
"Aufsätze" by Robert Walser is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The work comprises a variety of reflections and observations that explore topics ranging from personal insights to theatrical experiences, set against the backdrop of social and artistic life in that era. At the start of the collection, the author introduces a letter from a character named Simon Tanner, who expresses a deep connection to a woman he admires and reflects on his sense of purpose and the nature of his existence. This letter captures a blend of humor, introspection, and a poignancy that gives the reader a glimpse into Tanner's worldview. Following this, Walser shifts into multiple essays—some poetic, some critical—where characters engage with themes of art, identity, and the landscapes of their surroundings. The beginning establishes a tone that is both whimsical and earnest, hinting at the richness and diversity of thought that characterizes the entire collection.
