Robert Walsers ‘Seeland’ (in German)

‘Seeland could be anywhere’: the words of the famous author Robert Walser and his collection of narrative texts ‘Seeland’ reflect the author’s deep emotional attachment to lakes. What role did they play in Walser’s life and work? Our guests – Barbara Piatti, Monique Schwitter and Reto Sorg – will try to answer this question. The literary evening is part of the programme accompanying the exhibition ‘Lakes, Mirrors of Switzerland’.
