A classic tale of Peter Camenzind, a young man from a Swiss mountain village who leaves home and takes to the road in search of adventure. Traveling through Italy and France, Camenzind becomes increasingly disillusioned by the suffering he witnesses. After failed romance and a tragic friendship, his idealism fades to hopelessness. He finds peace, however, when he cares for Boppi, an invalid who restores Camenzind's love of humanity and inspires him to seek joy in the many small details of everyday life.
