The book "Goose Man" by the famous Austrian writer Jakob Wassermann tells the story of a young boy who grew up among shepherds, raised by a single mother. The psychological portrait of the main character, his desire for independence and freedom, the study of internal conflicts and relationships with the world around him, all this makes the book exciting for the reader. The feeling of depression, the burden of old obligations and the desire to find one's place in society are only some of the themes that permeate Wassermann's work. "Goose man" is the embodiment of internal struggles, contradictions and the path to self-discovery.
