Benson is a reflective narrative written in the early 20th century. This work seems to merge elements of essays and a diary, capturing the author's thoughts and experiences throughout the months of the year, primarily set against the backdrop of England and its changing seasons. The narrative appears to address themes of nature, personal reflection, and the existential musings of the author as he observes life around him. The opening of the book sets a vivid scene in January, illustrating the atmosphere of a foggy London as the author contemplates the new year. He describes how the character of life in the city unfolds through vivid observations of people and moments, revealing both humor and pathos. The narrative transitions from the bustling streets of London and the author's ruminations on society to his retreat to the mountains of Grindelwald, highlighting a desire for escape and contemplation amidst the chaos of urban life. Through a series of anecdotes, the author captures the dual nature of existence, blending moments of joy, reflection, and a childlike sense of wonder as he interacts with both strangers and the natural world.
