Acerca del autor

Gottfried Keller (19 July 1819 – 15 July 1890) was a Swiss poet and writer of German literature. Born in Zürich, Keller is largely celebrated for his vivid narrative style and deep involvement with issues of social justice and civic responsibility, which are evident throughout his literary oeuvre. One of Keller's most notable works is 'Seldwyla Folks: Three Singular Tales', which exemplifies his skill in weaving together the intricacies of human nature with the evocative landscapes of Swiss life. Keller's writings often provide a rich combination of realism and poetic allegory, which has set him apart as a significant figure in the Swiss literary canon. His collection of stories, 'Die Leute von Seldwyla' (The People of Seldwyla), originally published in two volumes (1856 and 1874), is considered a masterpiece, reflecting the idiosyncrasies and follies of small-town residents, and is where 'Three Singular Tales' originates. Keller's works are marked by his critical, yet sympathetic portrayal of the petit bourgeoisie and his exploration of morality and ethics. His storytelling is characterized by its humor, social criticism, and keen perception of human weaknesses, all encapsulated with a touch of Romantic irony. Keller's legacy extends beyond literature into the cultural and political landscape of Switzerland, with his role in shaping the modern Swiss identity during a period of cultural and political transformation. In recognizing his contributions, Keller is esteemed not just for his literary creations but also for his position as a statesman, having served as a state secretary in the canton of Zürich.
