Robert Walser (* 15. April 1878 in Biel, Kanton Bern; † 25. Dezember 1956 nahe Herisau, Kanton Appenzell Ausserrhoden) war ein deutschsprachiger Schweizer Schriftsteller. Walser verfasste vier Romane – *Jakob von Gunten, Geschwister Tanner, Der Gehülfe* und *Der Räuber* –, die längere Erzählung *Der Spaziergang* sowie Kurzgeschichten und Essays. Er gilt als bedeutender Vertreter der literarischen Moderne und der sogenannten Angestelltenliteratur. Seine unkonventionellen, teils rätselhaft wirkenden Werke wurden von Zeitgenossen wie Walter Benjamin, Hermann Hesse, Franz Kafka, Robert Musil und Kurt Tucholsky geschätzt. Trotz Anfangserfolgen blieb Robert Walser der kommerzielle Durchbruch verwe
