About This Book

First published in 1908, the novel is a notebook, a boy's impressions of life at a school for servants run by the brother and sister Benjamenta. The lesson of the school is humility and the rejection of power and ambition. With brilliance, Walser captures the interplay of sadism and masochism between teacher and taught.
