Der Reisende

The story vividly portrays a man caught between survival and self-understanding. Did anyone else feel this internal struggle was the core of the novel?

Understanding the context behind the setting might deepen the reading experience. I wonder if Boschwitz's personal history influenced the story's tone and themes.

Some chapters felt like a slow burn, but perhaps it was meant to mirror the protagonist's growing despair. I'm curious what others thought.
