| Summary | "Die Schlacht bei Sempach" by Robert Walser is a historical narrative written in the early 20th century. This work recounts the events surrounding the Battle of Sempach, a significant conflict from the late medieval period, emphasizing the chaos and tragedy of war. The narrative style combines vivid imagery with a satirical approach to the nature of knighthood and the futility of battle. The story unfolds during a hot summer day as an army, led by Duke Leopold of Austria, marches toward Sempach. The writing captures the elaborate and almost carefree atmosphere of the soldiers as they anticipate battle, juxtaposing their jovial interactions with the grim reality of war. As the battle commences, the initially composed knights are thrust into a brutal and chaotic struggle against the peasant forces. The narrative highlights the absurdity and brutality of their conflict, illustrating the downfall of the noblemen who are ultimately overwhelmed. It concludes with the aftermath of the battle, where the victors and the slain reflect on the stark realities of life and death, conveying a poignant commentary on the nature of glory and the human cost of warfare.
