{"product_id":"books-jakob-von-gunten-by-robert-walser","title":"Jakob von Gunten","description":"The 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":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53670862848273,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780940322219.jpg?v=1781513368","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-jakob-von-gunten-by-robert-walser","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
