Anmerkungen zur Transkription:
On a bright morning the narrator slips on his hat and steps out of his study, eager for a walk that promises to dissolve the gloom of an unfinished manuscript. The city unfurls in a wash of light, its streets filled with children, a bustling bakery, a quiet bookshop, and a lone dog lapping water from a fountain. As he strolls, he catalogues a parade of characters—students, a chemist on a bicycle, a humble footman—each rendered with a blend of affectionate humor and subtle observation.
Soon he encounters Professor Meili, an imposing figure whose rigid gait and austere hat command both admiration and a touch of dread. The professor's sharp, hawk‑like features and the steady tap of his scholarly cane give the narrator a moment of comic reverence, as he muses on authority and the quiet dignity hidden beneath a stern exterior. The walk remains a lyrical tableau, inviting listeners to share the simple wonder of seeing the ordinary world through a mind that finds poetry in every step.

1878–1956
A quietly original Swiss writer in the German language, he turned ordinary walks, small jobs, and passing thoughts into fiction that feels light on its feet and unexpectedly deep. Once admired by writers like Kafka and Hesse, his work has grown into a lasting touchstone of modern literature.
