Sumérgete en el peculiar mundo del Instituto Benjamenta a través de los ojos de Jakob von Gunten. Esta novela, aclamada por Walter Benjamin como una 'historia singularmente delicada', teje una narrativa introspectiva y misteriosa. Acompaña a Jakob en su diario mientras desvela los secretos, dramas y tragedias de este instituto único, un escenario inolvidable de la literatura del siglo XX. Una obra maestra de Robert Walser que explora la paciencia, la obediencia y la búsqueda de significado en la modestia.

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.
