{"product_id":"9780940322219","title":"Jakob von Gunten","description":"By: Robert Walser     \u003chr\u003eThe Swiss writer Robert Walser is one of the quiet geniuses of twentieth-century literature. Largely self-taught and altogether indifferent to worldly success, Walser wrote a range of short stories, essays, as well as four novels, of which \u003ci\u003eJakob von Gunten\u003c\/i\u003e is widely recognized as the finest. The book is a young man's inquisitive and irreverent account of life in what turns out to be the most uncanny of schools. It is the work of an outsider artist, a writer of uncompromising originality and disconcerting humor, whose beautiful sentences have the simplicity and strangeness of a painting by Henri Rousseau.","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46779165114595,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780940322219","price":109.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780940322219.jpg?v=1751664697","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/9780940322219","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
