Bøger af Robert Walser

Røveren er måske den schweiziske forfatter Robert Walsers (1878-1956) dristigste og vildeste roman. På en og samme tid en undersøgelse af romanformen og af hovedpersonen, den forfulgte og udstødte "røver", som i stadig stigende grad smelter sammen med romanens fortæller. Hvis man kunne lide de kortere mikrogrammer i En verden for sig (Basilisk 2004) vil man elske denne hvirvlende, vanvittige og vanvittigt skarpe roman.Omtale:Den østrigske forfatter, WG Sebald, skriver i sit essay om Robert Walser, Le promeneur solitaire, blandt andet: "Hvis der nogensinde er en bog, der er skrevet på den yderste rand, så er det Røver-romanen." Walser "...registrerer med seismografisk præcision selv de mindste vibrationer i udkanten af sin bevidsthed..." "...røver-romanen er Walsers mest intelligente og vovede værk, et selvportræt og en selvundersøgelse af yderste ubestikkelighed, i hvilken såvel forfatteren til sygehistorien som dennes subjekt tager autorens sted." Uddrag fra bogen:"Selv hvis denne beskedne bog eventuelt skulle få et heldigt udfald for mig, hvad ville det så skade digterfyrsten Dübi i Dübendorf, som trækker fulde huse og har kæmpe succes med sine teaterstykker? Hvad er vi andet end kollegaer på vores fælles stræbens vinbjerg, og vi stræber jo heldigvis efter noget."

Robert Walser (1878-1956), schweizisk forfatter. I dette udvalg af Walsers såkaldte mikrogrammer – tekster skrevet med mikroskopisk skrift på bagsiden af kuverter, teaterbilletter, breve, telegrammer o.a. – kan man stifte bekendtskab med en usædvanlig blanding af naivitet og raffinement, underdanighed og provokation. Mikrogrammerne er stærkt flossede og hvirvlende tekster. Erik Granly Jensen skriver bl.a. i sit efterord: ”Der er her tale om en prosa, hvis perspektiv og strategi veksler fra sætning til sætning, en på en gang stærkt associativ og fragmenteret prosa, hvor blot placeringen af et biord kan afstedkomme, at alt hvad teksten indtil dette tidspunkt har talt om, fortrænges, og sender fortællingen i en ny og fuldstændig uforudsigelig retning.”Pressen skrev:Et geni er ankommet. Der er god, ja tvingende grund til at støde så hårdt i trompeten, for det er uhyre sjældent, at et næsten ukendt fuldblods geni kommer til Danmark (den bedagede og suspekte ´geni’-term er her på sin plads), og så oven i købet i det, der efter alt at dømme er en fremragende oversættelse.- Mikkel Bruun Zangenberg, Politiken

The first complete publication of Robert Walser's poems translated into English. Admired by the likes of Kafka, Musil, and Walter Benjamin and acclaimed "unforgettable, heart-rending" by J. M. Coetzee, Swiss writer Robert Walser (1878-1956) remains one of the most influential authors of modern literature. Walser left school at fourteen and led a wandering and precarious existence while producing poems, stories, essays, and novels. In 1933, he abandoned writing and entered a sanatorium, where he remained for the rest of his life. "I am not here to write," Walser said, "but to be mad." This first collection of Walser's poems in English translation allows English-speaking readers to experience the author as he saw himself at the beginning and the end of his literary career--as a poet. The book also includes notes on dates of composition, draft versions of the printed poems, and brief biographical information on characters and locations that appear in the poems and may not be known to readers. Few writers have ever experienced such a steady rise in their reputation and public profile as Walser has seen in recent years, and this collection of his poems will help readers discover a unique writer whose off-kilter sensibility and innovations in form are perfectly suited to our fragmented, distracted, bewildering era.

A beautiful and elegant collection, with gorgeous full-color art reproductions, Looking at Pictures presents a little-known side of the eccentric Swiss genius: his great writings on art. His essays consider Van Gogh, Cezanne, Rembrandt, Cranach, Watteau, Fragonard, Brueghel and his own brother Karl and also discuss general topics such as the character of the artist and of the dilettante as well as the differences between painters and poets. Every piece is marked by Walser's unique eye, his delicate sensitivity, and his very particular sensibilities-and all are touched by his magic screwball wit.

One day, in the middle of high summer, a military expedition was advancing slowly down the dusty country road that led towards a district of Luzern. The bright, actually more than bright, sun dazzled down over swaying armour serving to cover human bodies, over prancing horses, over helmets and parts of faces, over equine heads and tails, over ornaments and plumes and stirrups as big as snowshoes. To the right and to the left of the shining military expedition spread out meadows with thousands of fruit trees in them up as far as hills that, looming up out of the blue-smelling, half-hazy distance, beckoned and had the same effect as light and carefully painted window dressing.

"e;A solid, scholarly analysis of the power, meaning, musical structure, and sociopolitical contexts of the most popular examples of heavy metal."e; -Library JournalDismissed by critics and academics, condemned by parents and politicians, and fervently embraced by legions of fans, heavy metal music continues to attract and embody cultural conflicts that are central to society. In Running with the Devil, Robert Walser explores how and why heavy metal works, both musically and socially, and at the same time uses metal to investigate contemporary formations of identity, community, gender, and power. This edition includes a new foreword by Harris M. Berger contextualizing the work and a new afterword by the author.Ebook Edition Note: all photographs (sixteen) have been redacted."e;Walser belongs to a small but influential group of academics trying to reconcile 'high theory' with a streetwise sense of culture . . . an excellent book."e; -Rolling Stone"e;Takes musicology where it has never gone before; I once saw the chapter on metal guitarists and the classical tradition performed live in a lecture hall, but even on paper it smokes."e; -SF Weekly"e;Walser is truly gifted at doing what few critics before him have done: analyzing the music . . . In virtuoso readings of metal music that forge persuasive links between metal and particular classical music traditions, Walser reveals the ways that musical structures themselves are social texts."e; -The Nation"e;Making surprising connections to classical forms and debunking stereotypes of metal's musical crudity, Walser delves enthusiastically into guitar conventions and rituals."e; -The Washington Post
