El tal Zollinger siempre quiso ser impresor, pero en su pueblo ya había uno, bien afianzado, y cuando Zollinger abrió su propia imprenta las presiones le obligaron a marcharse. Así que se hizo sucesivamente guardagujas, soldado, ermitaño y algún oficio más que no recuerdo ahora. En cada etapa va descubriendo cosas. Desde luego, lo más bonito es la historia de amor con la telefonista que todos los días le llamaba apenas unos segundos para avisarle del paso del único tren, y con la que solo podía intercambiar unas breves palabras, sin llegar a verse nunca. Bueno, en la novela el aspecto simbólico a veces es demasiado evidente pero me han gustado más las simples historias, como la ya mencionada con la telefonista. ( ) no reviews | add a review
In this affecting moral fable, young August Zollinger leaves his hometown in order to save his own life, undertaking a seven-year, solitary journey of adventure and discovery that will see him try his hand at all manner of different jobs. What begins as a bitter exile ultimately becomes a voyage of enlightenment: he comes to know true love in the tiny lodge of a train station, where he receives a daily telephone call from a mysterious woman; he relishes the deepest and most loyal friendship and camaraderie in the ranks of the army; and he discovers the mysteries of nature in the ethereal majesty of the forest. Above all, however, he learns to value the inherent dignity of even the humblest professions. It is the wisdom gained during this journey that allows August to return to his village, where he can now become the printer he had always dreamed of being as a child.
