The Story of Mr Sommer

A boy finds his peaceful village life disturbed by the frequent sight of the eccentric Mr Sommer. From early in the morning till late at night, Mr Sommer is out walking, marching through the landscape like a man possessed with his empty rucksack and his walking stick. Where is he going and why?

Report

"A master of the deceptively simple tale. Süskind meditates on the nature of the most basic emotions, weaving a remarkable imagination into the strangest of half-didactic, half-humorous fables." (The Times )
