The revised edition published in his later years highlights the positive significance of life. The Man of Selma Devilla is a representative work of the writer. With humor, humor and satire, the work reveals the ugly social and moral phenomena associated with the process of Swiss capitalism, and also writes the seeds of new forces. This collection of novels shows that the author is not only a master who is good at writing about rural life, but also an excellent painter of urban customs.
