"People who have imagination and make use of it are easily regarded as scoundrels." Robert Walser's witticisms are always profound and charming. The Swiss poet is a unique figure; hardly any other writer has expressed himself so pointedly on so many aspects of life as he has. This collection of texts and aphorisms, selected by Susanne Schaber, presents this extraordinary author as a flâneur and keen observer, as a miniature artist par excellence.
