| Summary | "Geschwister Tanner" by Robert Walser is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work explores the lives and struggles of the Tanner siblings, particularly focusing on Simon, a young man with lofty ambitions and a restless spirit. The story delves into themes of identity, ambition, familial relationships, and the challenges of finding one's place in society. The opening of the book introduces Simon Tanner, who aspires to become a bookseller as he seeks a fulfilling path in life away from the stifling confines of traditional occupations. As he interviews with a bookshop owner, he candidly expresses his disdain for prolonged employment that squashes his youthful enthusiasm. Throughout this introduction, we are introduced to Simon’s concerns about his family, especially one of his brothers, Klaus, who worries over Simon's aimless wandering. Simon's reflections on duty and happiness set the tone for a narrative filled with introspection, humor, and the pursuit of personal freedom amidst societal expectations.
