El ayudante es una novela del escritor suizo Robert Walser, publicada originalmente en 1908. La historia sigue a Joseph, un joven que se convierte en ayudante del ingeniero Tobler, un inventor excéntrico y algo caótico. A través de los ojos de Joseph, Walser explora temas como la precariedad laboral, la lucha de clases y la búsqueda de sentido en un mundo moderno y deshumanizado. Con una prosa sutil y una ironía mordaz, Walser retrata la vida cotidiana de personajes marginales y la complejidad de las relaciones humanas.

Robert Walser was a German language Swiss writer. He additionally worked as a copyist, an inventor's assistant, a butler, and in various other low-paying trades. Despite marginal early success in his literary career, the popularity of his work gradually diminished over the second and third decades of the 20th century, making it increasingly difficult for him to support himself through writing. He eventually had a nervous breakdown and spent the remainder of his life in sanatoria.
