Sinossi

Robert Walser's 'The Battle of Sempach' is a vivid and meticulous reimagining of one of Switzerland's most significant historical moments. Through Walser's masterful blend of fact and fiction, readers are transported to the heart of the 14th-century conflict that played a pivotal role in Swiss history. Utilizing rich, immersive prose, Walser meticulously integrates period details with a poetic flair that is characteristic of his writing style. Set against the broader canvas of European turmoil, 'The Battle of Sempach' stands as a testament to Walser's deep-rooted fascination with cultural identity and the intricacies of human experience within the literary context of early 20th-century modernist prose.

Robert Walser, a writer known for his introspective and whimsical literary voice, brought to 'The Battle of Sempach' a unique interpretation guided by his Swiss heritage and a deeply introspective worldview. His oeuvre often reflects a preoccupation with the undercurrents of society and the psychological nuances of solitary characters. In exploring the legendary Swiss battle, Walser delved into the communal psyche of his homeland, bringing forth aspects of heroism and nationalism that may have resonated personally in the context of his life and work—traversing from solace in solitude to the grandeur of collective history.

'The Battle of Sempach' is not merely a historical recount; it is a rich tapestry woven with the threads of time, memory, and national pride. As DigiCat Publishing lovingly restores this gem for contemporary audiences, it invites readers to appreciate Walser's distinct literary contributions. Scholars of Swiss literature, enthusiasts of historical fiction, and admirers of modernist storytelling are encouraged to engage with this work, which sheds light on a defining moment of Swiss valor while revealing the profound capabilities of narrative to-capture and celebrate a nation's spirit.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
