It is a hybrid of love story, tragedy, and farce, with a protagonist who sweet-talks teaspoons, flirts with important politicians, plays maidservant to young boys, and uses a passerby’s mouth as an ashtray. Walser’s novel spoofs the stiff-upper-lipped European petit bourgeois and its nervous reactions to whatever threatens the stability of its worldview.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e141 pages\u003cbr\u003eUniversity of Nebraska Press, 2007\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 x 8.5 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9780803298095\u003cbr\u003eFiction, Satire\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":263525040,"sku":"9780803298095","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/products\/Walser_The_Robber.jpg?v=1634934883","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/the-robber","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
