The Glass Bead Game
, which, also known as Magister Ludi, explore a search of an individual for spirituality outside society. In his time, Hesse was a popular and influential author in the German-speaking world; worldwide fame only came later. Young Germans desiring a different and more "natural" way of life at the time of great economic and technological progress in the country, received enthusiastically
Peter Camenzind
, first great novel of Hesse.Throughout Germany, people named many schools. In 1964, people founded the Calwer Hermann-Hesse-Preis, awarded biennially, alternately to a German-language literary journal or to the translator of work of Hesse to a foreign language. The city of Karlsruhe, Germany, also associates a Hermann Hesse prize.
Ağaçlar
Hermann Hesse
“Üzgün olduğumuzda ve hayata katlanamadığımızda bir ağaç şöyle konuşabilir bizimle: Sus! Bak bana! Yaşamak kolay değil, yaşamak zor değil. Bunlar çocuksu düşünceler. Bırak konuşsun içindeki Tanrı, o zaman susacaklar. Yolun seni anandan ve yurdundan uzaklaştırdığı için endişelisin. Ama attığın her adım, her yeni gün seni anana yaklaştırır. Orası ya da şurası değildir yurdun. Yurt ya içindedir ya da hiçbir yerde.
Yollara düşme özlemiyle kederlenir yüreğim, akşamları rüzgârda uğuldayan ağaçları duyduğumda. Sessizce, uzun uzun dinlerseniz, bu özlemin esası da anlamı da çıkar ortaya. Sanıldığı gibi acıdan kaçıp gitme arzusu değildir bu. Yurda, ananın belleğine, hayatın yeni kıssalarına duyulan özlemdir. Eve götürür insanı. Her yol eve götürür, her adım doğumdur, her adım ölümdür, her mezar anadır.
Böyle uğuldar ağaç, çocuksu düşüncelerimizden ürktüğümüz akşam vakitlerinde. [...] Ağaçları dinlemeyi öğrenen, ağaç olmayı arzulamaz artık. Kendisi dışında başka bir şey olmayı arzulamaz. Yurt budur. Mutluluk budur.”

Bajo las ruedas
Hermann Hesse
Publicada en 1905, Bajo las ruedas, primera novela de Hermann Hesse (1887-1962), es una prodigiosa recreación del mundo de la adolescencia, pero también una severa acusación contra los sistemas educativos que se imponen a costa de la imaginación y del cultivo armónico de las facultades espirituales, emocionales y físicas. Separado del medio de su infancia y obligado por padres y profesores a una agotadora preparación para el ingreso en un seminario, Hans Giebenrath logra finalmente su objetivo, pero al elevado precio de perder primero su sensibilidad y, más tarde, su equilibrio emocional.
Beneath the Wheel
Hermann Hesse
In Hermann Hesse's Beneath the Wheel or The Prodigy, Hans Giebenrath lives among the dull and respectable townsfolk of a sleepy Black Forest village. When he is discovered to be an exceptionally gifted student, the entire community presses him onto a path of serious scholarship. Hans dutifully follows the regimen of tireless study and endless examinations, his success rewarded only with more crushing assignments. When Hans befriends a rebellious young poet, he begins to imagine other possibilities outside the narrowly circumscribed world of the academy. Finally sent home after a nervous breakdown, Hans is revived by nature and romance, and vows never to return to the gray conformity of the academic system.
Boncuk Oyunu
Hermann Hesse
Alman dilinin en büyük yazarlarından Hermann Hesse'ye Nobel Edebiyat Ödülü'nü kazandıran Boncuk Oyunu, Doğu ve Batı felsefelerinin kusursuz bir bileşiminden oluşan yeni ve ütopik bir dünya düzeni sunan bir başyapıt. Hesse, 1943 yılında, tüm dünyanın savaş cehennemini yaşadığı sırada yazdığı Boncuk Oyunu'nda, Doğu ve Batı felsefelerinin kusursuz bir bileşiminden oluşan yeni ve ütopik bir dünya düzeni sunar okura. Sanat ve bilimde disiplinlerarası bir uyum üzerine kurulu, Hesse'nin düş ve düşün gücünün ürünü fütüristik bir oyun olan Boncuk Oyunu, bu yeni düzenin simgesidir. Toplumsal ahlakın bireyin iç ahlakını yok ettiğine inanan Hesse, bu kitabında Batı'nın toplumsal dayatmalarına karşı Doğu'nun bireysel özgürlüğünü yüceltir, söz konusu yeni dünya düzenini bireysellik üzerine temellendirir. Alman dilinin en büyük yazarlarından biri olan Hermann Hesse'nin başyapıtı olan ve 1946 yılında Nobel Edebiyat Ödülü'ne layık görülen Boncuk Oyunu, Kâmuran Şipal'in özenli çevirisiyle Yapı Kredi Yayınları tarafından bir kez daha Türkçeye kazandırıldı.
Cuentos de amor
Hermann Hesse
La tímida fascinación de un joven por una chica que se desliza por el hielo; la nostalgia que despiertan unas caricias al atardecer; la historia de un beso furtivo y otro vengativo y burlón. Éstas son algunas de las historias de amor que se recogen en estos cuentos. El lector disfrutará con estas ingenuas y melancólicas reflexiones sobre los ardores y las aflicciones amorosas, y sobre dulces recompensas que deparan. Todos los relatos destacan por la sensibilidad romántica de Hesse, que refleja en el lirismo con que describe la naturaleza la inquietud que inspira el amor, tanto en la juventud, como en el desencanto de la madurez. Aunque no tan conocidos como sus emblemáticas Siddharta (1922) o El lobo estepario (1927), estos Cuentos de amor constituyen un ejemplo de la prosa vital y deslumbrante que ha hecho de Hermann Hesse uno de los autores más leídos del siglo XX, y más populares entre el público joven.

Demian
Hermann Hesse
Wie alle Hauptwerke Hermann Hesses hat auch der Demian, den der damals 40jährige Autor mitten im Ersten Weltkrieg schrieb, eine ebenso ungewöhnliche wie spannende Entstehungs- und Wirkungsgeschichte. Daß dieses im Herbst 1917 vollendete Buch erst im Juni 1919, ein halbes Jahr nach Kriegsende, veröffentlicht wurde, lag an der Unbekanntheit des Verfassers. Denn Hesse hatte das Manuskript dem Verlag als das Erstlingswerk eines kranken jungen Dichters empfohlen, des zeitkritischen Poeten Emil Sinclair, der bisher nur in Zeitungen und Zeitschriften durch pazifistische Mahnrufe und Erzählungen aufgefallen war (die gleichfalls von Hesse stammten). Doch trotz des Inkognitos erlebte das Buch eine geradezu stürmische Aufnahme und wurde noch im Erscheinungsjahr mit dem Fontane-Preis für das beste Erstlingswerk eines Nachwuchsautors ausgezeichnet. Thomas Mann verglich die elektrisierende Wirkung des Buches mit der von Goethes Werther, da es »mit unheimlicher Genauigkeit den Nerv der Zeit traf und eine ganze Jugend, die wähnte aus ihrer Mitte sei ihr ein Künder ihres tiefsten Lebens entstanden, zu dankbarem Entzücken hinriß«. Bis zur Entdeckung des Pseudonyms im Mai 1920 erschienen drei Auflagen, denen dann unter Hesses eigenem Namen zu seinen Lebzeiten noch 93 weitere folgten.
Demian: A História da Juventude de Emil Sinclair
Hermann Hesse
Publicado em 1919, com o pseudónimo Emil Sinclair, Demian conta-nos a história de uma difícil caminhada para a maturidade, que culmina nos dias sombrios da Primeira Guerra Mundial. Os seus protagonistas - o enigmático Max Demian e o narrador, o jovem Emil Sinclair - erguem, ao longo das páginas deste romance, um inesquecível grito de revolta contra os processos de uniformização então predominantes e contra a barbárie massificada que viria a constituir a marca mais característica do século XX.
Demian é um brilhante retrato psicológico de alguém que rompe com as convenções sociais em busca da realização espiritual e do autoconhecimento. Influenciado pelas ideias de Carl Jung, fundador da psicologia analítica, mas também pela sabedoria oriental, Hesse interroga-se acerca da natureza humana, com as suas contradições e dualidades, e aborda muitos dos seus temas característicos, alguns dos quais haveria de retomar em Siddhartha.
Romance cuja influência Thomas Mann comparou à de Werther de Goethe, Demian continua a marcar gerações de leitores, pois, como todas as obras-primas, a mensagem que contém é de perene interesse.
O mais admirável êxito de Hesse e um dos mais importantes livros do século XX.
Demian by Hermann Hesse
Hermann Hesse
he stories Hesse tells appeal to young people, because they keep faith with the powerful emotions of adolescence, which most adults forget or outgrow.As a young middle class boy Emil Sinclair has trouble knowing what is or what should be. Throughout this novel he is constantly seeking validation as well as mentorship. As Emil struggles a childhood friend begins to mentor him and is said to be his daimon. In ancient greek daimon is is a person’s deity or guiding spirit. In his story Emil’s parents are a symbol of safety and fallback as his friend helps lead him to self realization.
Demian. Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend
Hermann Hesse
"Demian. Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend" beschreibt den mühevollen Weg zu sich selbst. Dazu gehört die Suche nach einem geistigen Führer, die Macht der Träume und des Unterbewussten. Die Erzählung ist ein Appel an die Selbstfindung des Menschen (nicht nur in der Pubertät). Sie ist Forderung nach individuellen Rechten und gerade vor dem Hintergrund der Uniformität und Massenbegeisterung im Ersten Weltkrieg Absage an jegliche Fremdbestimmung.
[...]
Das Thema des "Demian" ist der Ausbruch des jungen Emil Sinclair aus seinem christlich geprägten Elternhaus. Es ist die Loslösung von Normen wie Kirche, Vaterland und Moral. Bei seiner Berührung mit der fremden Welt gerät Emil durch harmlose Prahlereien in Abhängigkeit von Franz Kromer. Von diesem wird er von Max Demian, einem neu zugezogenen Schüler, befreit. Emil durchläuft einen Emanzipationsprozess, in dem er mit dem Orgelspieler Pistorius über seine Träume spricht. Dabei hilft ihm der Gott Abraxas, der Gut und Böse, Göttliches und Teuflisches, Menschliches und Tierisches vereint, eine verantwortungsbewusste Einstellung zum eigenen Leben zu finden. In der Mutter von Demian, in Frau Eva, die gleich ihm und Demian das Kainsmal trägt, erkennt er schließlich die Geliebte aus seinem Traum. Er sieht sich in der Nähe der Frau zu Hause angekommen.

Demian: Emil Sinclair ifjúságának története
Hermann Hesse
1927-ben Hugo Ball, a zürichi dadaizmus vezető egyénisége Hesse születésnapjára megjelentet egy kis életrajzot az íróbarátról, melyben így ír a Demianról: „A Demiannal a költő áttör minden határt: áttör önmagához, lehatol egészen az ősi összefonódottságig. És ének ez a mű az anyaság hatalmáról; ének az emberi lény gyökereiről. Nyelvezete áttetszően tiszta, és mégis olyannyira halálosan félelmetes, hogy a Gertrud hangjához hasonlóan képes megszólaltatni a szenvedély, sőt még a vérfertőző, káini szenvedély minden vad, édes ízét is, miközben teljesen tiszta emberi gondolatokat és viharokat is fel tud ragyogtatni. Mert a kor is beleszüremlett ebbe a nyelvezetbe – méghozzá milyen kor! Egy testvérgyilkos, lázadó, törvényellenes kor!”
Hermann Hesse (1877–1962) Nobel-díjas német költő és prózaíró, a XX. század világirodalmának egyik legismertebb alakja, a Grimm-testvérek után világszerte a legolvasottabb német szerző. Műveit több mint ötven nyelvre lefordították, és mintegy százötven millió példányban adták ki. Több írását megfilmesítették, színpadi adaptációt készítettek belőlük, és halála óta a német nyelvterületen kívül, ahol már életében is híresnek számított, a világ különböző tájain és országaiban újra és újra felfedezik, és szinte kultikus tisztelet övezi.
A Demian című regény az első világháború alatt íródott, és Hesse művészetében egy új alkotói korszak kezdetét – és talán egyik csúcspontját is – fémjelzi. A német irodalomban már a romantikában közkedvelt lélekábrázolás hagyományit folytatva, a freudi és jungi pszichoanalízis eredményeit is felhasználva rajzolja meg az először Emil Sinclair álnéven kiadott regény ennek a fiatalembernek lelki fejlődését, tusakodását önmagával és a világgal, míg végül lélekvezetői – Max Demian és Éva asszony – segítségével felnőtté válván az első világháború borzalmai közepette rátalál önmagára.
Demian - Emil Sinclair'in Gençliğinin Öyküsü
Hermann Hesse
Librarian note: Alternate cover edition of: 9789750703195.
On yaşındaki Latince öğrencisi Emil Sinclair, güvenceli aile ortamının dışında sert ve acımasız bir dünya olduğunu erken fark eder. Kendini bulma yolundaki delikanlı, din ve ahlak gibi artık inanamadığı kalıparla birlikte baba evinden de kopar. Küçük yalanlar ve hırsızlıklarla beslenen yaşamında, sağlam çocuk dünyasının çöktüğünü görür. Onu bu acılardan kurtaracak olan kişi, okula yeni gelen bir başka öğrenci: Max Demian'dır. Demian, Sinclair'in yaşamını yönlendiren, etkileyen başkisi olur. Tanıştığı ve tanıdığı insanlar, Sinclair'in kendini ve benliğini bulma yolunda birer kilometre taşıdır. Hermann Hesse'nin öteki romanlarından ayrılan bir yanı var Demian'ın: Bir gençlik ve öğrencilik romanı olan Demian, yazarın o dönemdeki korkularını ve sorunlarını tümüyle yansıtıyor. Hesse'nin meslek sorunlarının yanına kişisel sorunları da katılıyor: Babasının ölümü, en küçük oğlu Martin'in tehlikeli bir hastalığa yakalanması ve karısının, onu hastanelerde tedavi görmeye zorlayan ve gitgide ciddileşen ruhsal bozukluğu. Hesse'nin acılarla yoğrulan bu dönemi hayatında büyük değişimlere yol açtı. Ruhsal çöküntüsüyle, ancak doktor yardımıyla baş edebildi. Bu sorunlu dönemin meyvesi ise Demian oldu. Birkaç ay içinde bitirdiği romanını Emil Sinclair adı altında yayınevine yolladı, ancak İsviçreli bu genç, ama hasta yazarı desteklediğini söyledi. Gerçek kimliğini kitabın daha sonraki baskılarında açıkladı.
Demian / Siddhartha
Hermann Hesse
Emil Sinclair es un niño que ha vivido toda su vida en lo que el llama el Scheinwelt (mundo de ensueño o mundo de la luz), pero una mentira lo lleva a ampliar sus visiones del mundo y a conocer un personaje enigmático de nombre Max Demian que lo llevará por los senderos del auto-razonamiento destruyendo paradigmas materialistas que antes le rodeaban.
Demian: The Story Of A Youth
Hermann Hesse
Originally published in 1919 under the pseudonym of the narrator of the story, Herman Hesse's "Demian" is the coming of age story of its principal character "Emil Sinclair." The struggle of Emil is one of self-awareness. A principal theme that courses through the novel is that of the inherent duality of existence. In the case of Emil this duality presents itself in the form of the opposing demands of the external world and his one internal quest for spiritual fulfillment. Emil's quest to resolve this conflict forces him to seek out the guidance and validation from the elders of his world including his mother Eva, Pistorius, an organist at a local church, and ultimately Max Demian, a childhood friend who leads Emil to his eventual self-realization. Given its subject matter, "Demian" is a popular choice for young readers, one that explores the interesting psychological underpinnings of growing up.
Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth
Hermann Hesse
The main character of this classic novel, Emil Sinclair, is a young boy raised in a bourgeois home, amidst what is described as a Scheinwelt, a play on words that means "world of light" as well as "world of illusion". Emil's entire existence can be summarized as a struggle between two worlds: the show world of illusion (related to the Hindu concept of maya) and the real world, the world of spiritual truth. In the course of the novel, accompanied and prompted by his mysterious classmate 'Max Demian', he detaches from and revolts against the superficial ideals of the world of appearances and eventually awakens into a realization of self. The novel refers to the idea of Gnosticism, particularly the god Abraxas, showing the influence of Carl Jung's psychology. According to Hesse, the novel is a story of Jungian individuation, the process of opening up to one's unconsciousness.
Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair’s Youth (Heathen Edition)
Hermann Hesse
Hermann Karl Hesse (1877–1962) was a German-born Swiss poet, novelist, and painter who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. He found early popularity as an author in his native Germany but was soon embroiled in public controversy following the publication of an essay that appealed to his fellow countrymen regarding their role in the First World War. This personal crisis was quickly followed by the death of his father, the serious illness of a son, and his wife’s deteriorating mental health, leading to a great turning point in his life when he emigrated to Switzerland and sought refuge in psychoanalysis with a disciple of Carl Jung.
The first influences of that analysis bore Demian: a novel so radically different from his earlier work that even his friend, the renowned author Thomas Mann, could not believe Hesse wrote it. Initially published under the pseudonym Emil Sinclair, and replete with both Jungian archetypes and Jungian symbolism, it tells the coming-of-age story of troubled adolescent Emil and his quest for self-discovery and spiritual awakening with his friend, Max Demian, as guide.
Der Steppenwolf
Hermann Hesse
Der Steppenwolf ist die Geschichte von Harry Haller, der sich im Zustand völliger Entfremdung von seiner bürgerlichen Welt „eine geniale, eine unbegrenzte furchtbare Leidensfähigkeit herangebildet“ hat. Die innere Zerrissenheit Hallers spiegelt die Erscheinungen der modernen Massen- und Industriegesellschaft wider und reflektiert kultur- und zivilisationskritische Strömungen des 20. Jahrhunderts.
Der Untergang der "Titanic": Bericht eines Überlebenden
Hermann Hesse
'In letzter Minute schiffte ich mich auf der neuerbauten Titanic ein, um einen Elektriker zu vertreten, der kurz vor der Abffahrt erkrankte. 46000 Tonnen - eine ganze schwimmende Welt! Das kam mir ein wenig sonderbar vor nach dem kleinen Kasten von 3200 Tonnen, auf dem ich an die zehn Fahrten zwischen England und La Plata gemacht hatte.'
So begann die Schicksalsreise des deutschen Elektrikers H. Hesse, der im Jahre 1912, als Überlebender der Titanic-Katastrophe, seine spannenden und packenden Erlebnisse niederschrieb.
De Steppewolf
Hermann Hesse
De Steppewolf is het symbool voor de figuur Harry Haller, die als een wrede wolf eenzaam door de steppe van deze wereld doolt, ertegen in opstand komt, overal doorheen wil breken.
Het is een tocht door donkere labyrinten van hartstocht, laster, twijfel, nihilisme en tot de rand van zelfmoord leidende walging. Het verhaal biedt niet zoals Siddharta een harmonische oplossing, maar eindigt ook niet vertwijfeld. Haller begint het leven opnieuw. Hij wordt zich bewust dat achter alle verschijnselen in deze wereld tijdloos en onaantastbaar de ideeën staan, dat er een hogere, onvergankelijke wereld is van waaruit de geest tot de mensen spreekt en een gouden spoor trekt door het warrige duister.
Die Morgenlandfahrt
Hermann Hesse
Hermann Hesses Erzählung berichtet von dem Geheimbunde der Morgenlandfahrer, der die in allen Völkern und Zeiten zerstreute Gemeinschaft der Gläubigen, der Träumer, Dichter, Phantasten darstellen soll, symbolisch in ein gleichzeitiges Schicksal zusammenfaßt. Günter Eich
Doğu Yolculuğu
Hermann Hesse
Librarian note: Alternate cover edition of: 9789750726101.
'Doğu'ya yolculuk ediyorduk, ama Ortaçağ'a, ya da Altın Çağ'a da yolculuk ediyorduk. İtalya'dan, İsviçre'den geçiyorduk, ama bazen de geceyi onuncu yüzyılda geçiriyor, atalarımıza, ya da perilere konuk oluyorduk. Tek başına kaldığım zamanlarda kendi geçmişimden mekanlarla ve insanlarla sık sık karşılaştım, eski nişanlımla Ren'in yukarılarındaki orman kenarında dolaştım. Sonra herhangi bir vadide grubuma yeniden katıldığımda, Cemiyet şarkılarını dinleyip liderler çadırının karşısına kamp kurduğumda anlıyordum ki çocukluğuma yaptığım gezinti, ya da Sanço'yla at binmem de bu yolculuğun bir parçasıydı; çünkü bizim tek hedefimiz Doğu'ya varmak değildi, daha doğrusu bizim Doğu'muz salt bir ülke, ya da coğrafi bir yer değil, ruhun yurdu ve gençliğiyle, hem her yerdi hem de hiçbir yer, tüm zamanların yekvücut olmasıydı.'
Hermann Hesse'ın, ilk gençlik yıllarından beri hayranı olduğu Doğu ve Doğu felsefesi, mistisizmi ve hayat görüşü, onun pek çok kitabının temelini oluşturmuştur. "Doğu Yolculuğu" yalnızca, Hermann Hesse'in değil, Alman dilinin de en güzel, en şiirsel anlatılarından biri.
El lobo estepario
Hermann Hesse
Detrás del aspecto descuidado y enfermizo del intelectual Harry Haller se esconde una naturaleza sumamente sensible y despierta. Él mismo se describe como un lobo estepario, ya que se siente fuera del mundo burgués que lo rodea: un mundo que odia y desprecia pero que, a la vez, no puede abandonar.
Por eso alquila una habitación en la pensión de una señora mayor y trata de convivir con inquilinas que cuidan sus plantas con esmero y hombres responsables que cumplen religiosamente su horario de trabajo. Pero ese orden lo ahoga y una fuerza oscura lo obliga a salir y emprender la búsqueda incansable de una vida más auténtica e intensa.
Al narrar sus peripecias, en un intento de superar "la gran enfermedad de estos tiempos", Harry Haller da una lección magistral sobre la libertad, los conflictos y el poder salvador del humor. En todas las épocas hay personas demasiado sensibles, que sufren su soledad y se sienten arrancadas de toda protección e inocencia. Hermann Hesse crea un viaje fascinante, embriagador, a través de este aspecto tormentoso de muchos seres humanos, que se ha vuelto más actual que nunca.
"Por primera vez en mucho tiempo, El lobo estepario volvió a enseñarme lo que significa leer." Thomas Mann.
El lobo estepario * Relatos autobiográficos (Sepan cuantos, #607)
Hermann Hesse
La forma y el estilo de Hermann Hesse son de lo mejor logrado en la moderna literatura alemana. Este autor enfocó su atención hacia el problema de la soledad espiritual, hacia la búsqueda del conocimiento personal, del sentido de la vida, de una realidad íntima, de cierta especie de unión mística.
En el lobo estepario, Harry Haller, el personaje central, es un extraño ser humano, solitario y marginado, cuya mirada penetra dolorosamente al través del mundo que le rodea, del mundo en que vivimos. Su personalidad refleja los vicios y las virtudes de la humanidad, el conflicto que define a nuestro tiempo, el desgarre entre un lastre de tendencias materialistas y la alada aspiración a lo absoluto.
Francisc de Assisi
Hermann Hesse
Dragostea lui Hermann Hesse pentru Francisc de Assisi o cunoastem din romanul sau Peter Camenzind, caruia ii dedica in acelasi an o mica monografie. " Despre un om modern nu am putea scrie asa, nota el dupa incheierea lucrarii intr-o scrisoare catre redactor, dar aici trebuia sa le redam glasul unor martori de mult amutiti, dintr-o perioada indepartata."
Hesse descrie povestea vietii acestui sfant intr-un stil anume ales de legenda transmisa din vremuri indepartate pana la noi, asa cum a descoperit-o printre altele in biografia medievala a lui Francisc scrisa de Toma de Celano si in cele mai recente relatari ale lui Henry Thode si Paul Sabatier.
Gertrude
Hermann Hesse
With Gertrude, Herman Hesse continues his lifelong exploration of the irreconcilable elements of human existence. In this fictional memoir, the renowned composer Kuhn recounts his tangled relationships with two artists--his friend Heinrich Muoth, a brooding, self-destructive opera singer, and the gentle, self-assured Gertrude Imthor. Kuhn is drawn to Gertrude upon their first meeting, but Gertrude falls in love with Heinrich, to whom she is introduced when Kuhn auditions them for the leads in his new opera. Hopelessly ill-matched, Gertrude and Heinrich have a disastrous marriage that leaves them both ruined. Yet this tragic affair also becomes the inspiration for Kuhn's opera, the most important success of his artistic life.

Il lupo della steppa
Hermann Hesse
Harry Haller vive bloccato in una condizione di impotente infelicità generata da un insanabile dissidio interiore tra l'"uomo" (tutto quello che ha in sé di spirituale, di sublimato o per lo meno di culturale) e il "lupo" (il lato istintivo, selvatico e caotico). Chiuso in un isolamento quasi totale rispetto al mondo meschino e privo di spirito in cui vive, arriva a un passo dal suicidio. Verrà "rieducato" alla vita comune da una donna incolta ma intelligente, che lo aiuterà a trovare la via per meglio comprendere le "non regole" dell'assurdo gioco della vita. Pubblicato nel 1927, in un'Europa in cui i regimi totalitari si vanno imponendo, Il lupo della steppa è uno dei romanzi più "radicali" e più affascinanti di Hesse.

Klingsors letzter Sommer
Hermann Hesse
Geschildert werden die letzten Lebensmonate eines Malers, dessen Lebensgier und Schaffensrausch an die Intensität Vincent van Goghs erinnern: "Die Natur hat zehntausend Farben, wir aber haben uns in den Kopf gesetzt, die Skala auf zwanzig zu reduzieren." (Amazon)
Knulp (Picador Books)
Hermann Hesse
Knulp is the eternal vagabond -- a true drop-out of an earlier time. Perpetually wandering, dependent on the hospitality of friends, he consistently refuses to tie himself down to any trade, place or person. With profound understanding and sympathy, but also with some irony, Hesse portrays his journeys, his love affairs, his questioning of life -- reaching a final powerful climax when God reveals to Knulp that the purpose of his life has been to bring 'a little nostalgia for freedom' into the lives of ordinary men.
Kurgast. Aufzeichnungen von einer Badener Kur
Hermann Hesse
Zu den amüsantesten, wenn auch unbekanntesten Büchern Hesses gehört sein Kurgast. Diese Aufzeichnungen von einer Kur in Baden sind »hinter einer halb scherzhaften Fassade mein persönlichstes und ernsthaftestes Buch«, schrieb Hesse im Oktober 1923, unmittelbar nach Beendigung der Niederschrift.
Eine Badereise mit ihren tragikomischen Alltäglichkeiten wird dem Dichter zum Anlaß, das Zusammenleben der Menschen in einer Folge von gutgelaunten, idyllischen, philosophisch beschaulichen Szenen zu durchleuchten.
Leggende e fiabe
Hermann Hesse
Immersi in un clima mitico-simbolico soffuso di poesia, i temi della favolistica tradizionale (vita-morte, amoreodio) insieme a quelli della tentazione, della povertà, del miracolo, rivivono nelle leggende dei Padri del Deserto e degli eremiti della Tebaide, del Medioevo francescano o cortese e cavalleresco, dell'Italia rinascimentale e umanistica.

Le Loup des steppes
Hermann Hesse
Expérience spirituelle, récit initiatique, délire de psychopathe, Le Loup des steppes multiplie les registres. Salué à sa parution en 1927 (entre autres par Thomas Mann, qui déclare : « Ce livre m’a réappris à lire »), interdit sous le régime nazi, roman culte des années 1960 et 1970, c’est une des œuvres phares de la littérature universelle du XXe siècle. Il méritait une nouvelle traduction. Le voici enfin rendu avec tout l’éclat de ses fulgurances, la troublante obscurité de ses zones d’ombre.
Le stagioni (Italian Edition)
Hermann Hesse
Una breve raccolta di prose e poesie per seguire l’avvicendarsi delle stagioni in compagnia di Herman Hesse; per spiare con lui lo sbocciare dei fiori in primavera, la luce che una giornata estiva proietta sulle cose del mondo, il trascolorare dei colori in autunno, i nitidi contorni che l’inverno dipinge. Ma la contemplazione della natura, come sempre in Hesse, si arricchisce di profondità la gioia degli incontri, l’amore per la letteratura, le riflessioni sul corso della vita fanno di queste Stagioni un singolare e prezioso breviario spirituale.

Hermann Hesse
Steppenwolf is a poetical self-portrait of a man who felt himself to be half-human and half-wolf. This Faust-like and magical story is evidence of Hesse's searching philosophy and extraordinary sense of humanity as he tells of the humanization of a middle-aged misanthrope. Yet this novel can also be seen as a plea for rigorous self-examination and an indictment of the intellectual hypocrisy of the period. As Hesse himself remarked, "Of all my books Steppenwolf is the one that was more often and more violently misunderstood than any other".

Mi Credo
Hermann Hesse
El credo a que me refiero no es fácil expresarlo con palabras. Podría explicarse así: creo que, a pesar de su aparente absurdo, la vida tiene sentido; y aunque reconozco que este sentido último de la vida no puedo captar con la razón, estoy dispuesto a seguirlo aun cuando signifique sacrificarme a mí mismo. Su voz la oigo en mi interior siempre que estoy realmente vivo y despierto. En tales momentos, intentaré realizar todo cuanto la vida exija de mí, incluso cuando vaya contra las costumbres y leyes establecidas. Este credo no obedece órdenes ni se puede llegar a él por la fuerza. Sólo es posible sentirlo.
Narciso e Boccadoro
Hermann Hesse
Nel Medioevo leggendario del cattolicesimo monastico si snoda la storia dell'amicizia tra il dotto e ascetico Narciso, destinato a una brillante carriera religiosa al riparo dalle insidie del mondo e della storia, e Boccadoro, l'artista geniale e vagabondo, tentato dall'infinita ricchezza della vita e segretamente innamorato della sua caducità. Ripercorrendo una delle epoche storiche che più gli erano congeniali, Herman Hesse torna a riflettere sul tema, centrale nella sua poetica, del contrasto fra natura e spirito, fra eros e logos, fra arte e ascesi, alla ricerca di una loro possibile integrazione.
Narciso e Boccadoro (1930), che è stato uno dei suoi maggiori successi a dispetto delle riserve espresse dalla critica più recente, pone al lettore, in un'accattivante, limpida fusione di favola simbolica e romanzo picaresco, i medesimi, inquietanti interrogativi sulla condizione dell'uomo contemporaneo che le altre opere dello scrittore, in particolare Il lupo della steppa, affrontano nelle norme ardite e dissonanti della modernità.
Narciso y Goldmundo
Hermann Hesse
'Narciso y Goldmundo' (originalmente, en alemán, 'Narziß und Goldmund') es una novela del premio nobel alemán Hermann Hesse, escrita en 1930.
Se trata de una novela de "conciliación" de antagonismos. Los dos personajes protagónicos de la misma, Narciso y Goldmundo, siguen, cada uno, sus propios caminos, atraviesan —el uno y el otro— innumerables desventuras y descubrimientos. Sus puntos de vista respectivos sobre el mundo, sus cosmovisiones, bosquejan en el inicio trayectorias marcadamente divergentes, para reencontrarse, después en lo esencial, hacia el final de la obra.
La reconciliación es propuesta, hacia el desenlace, por el novelista. Lo que se ve de hecho es que ambos personajes no han dejado de pensar emocionadamente, el uno en el otro, a lo largo de toda la vida. A pesar de las diferencias de enfoque, de objetivos, de menesteres que los han atareado. Hesse buscará conjugar a su manera sin quebrantarlo, un dualismo manifiesto entre espíritu y materia, entre espiritualidad y animalidad, o entre la vocación y la mirada de las ciencias y la de las artes.
Narcis și Gură-de-Aur

Narcissus and Goldmund
Hermann Hesse
Narcissus and Goldmund tells the story of two medieval men whose characters are diametrically opposite: Narcissus, an ascetic monk firm in his religious commitment, and Goldmund, a romantic youth hungry for knowledge and worldly experience. First published in 1930, Hesse's novel remains a moving and pointed exploration of the conflict between the life of the spirit and the life of the flesh. It is a theme that transcends all time.
Narcisuss and Goldmund
Hermann Hesse
One of Hermann Hesse’s greatest novels, Narcissus and Goldmund is an extraordinary recreation of the Middle Ages, contrasting the careers of two friends, one of whom shuns life in a monastery and goes on the road, tangled in the extremes of life in a world dominated by sin, plague and war, the other staying in the monastery and struggling, with equal difficulty, to lead a life of spiritual denial.
Narziss and Goldmund
Hermann Hesse
Narcissus is a teacher at Mariabronn, a monastery in medieval Germany, and Goldmund his favourite pupil. While Narcissus remains detached from the world in prayer and meditation, Goldmund runs away from the monstery in pursuit of love. Thereafter he lives a picaresque wanderer's life, his amatory adventures resulting in pain as well as ecstasy. His eventual reunion with Narcissus brings into focus the diversity between artist and thinker, Dionysian and Apollonian.

Narziß und Goldmund
Hermann Hesse
"Hesses Roman "Narziß und Goldmund" setzt mit großer sprachlicher Schönheit ein und scheint in einer mittelalterlichen Zeitlosigkeit zu schweben, die dem poetischen Bedürfnis dieser rohen Aktualität widerstrebenden Geistes entspricht, ohne darum seine schmerzliche Fühlung mit den Problemen der Gegenwart zu leugnen.... ein wunderschönes Buch mit seiner Mischung aus deutsch-romantischen und modern-psychologischen, ja psychoanalytischen Elementen....eine in ihrer Reinheit und Interessantheit durchaus einzigartige Romandichtung." (Thomas Mann)
O Jogo das Contas de Vidro
Hermann Hesse
Considerado um dos romances essenciais da ficção contemporânea, O Jogo das Contas de Vidro valeu a Hermann Hesse a atribuição do Prémio Nobel da Literatura em 1946. Os membros de uma Ordem espiritual, inserida numa sociedade fechada e hierarquizada de eleitos, dedicam-se à procura do saber e do conhecimento absolutos. Joseph Knecht, chefe supremo desta comunidade, acabará por notar a contradição existente entre a mobilidade deste mundo a a fluidez do universo exterior, conhecimento que gradualmente altera o sentido da sua vida, levando-o a partir.
O livro das fábulas
Hermann Hesse
Um livro de fantasia e encantamento, de mistério e mágica sedução, narra histórias que contêm inspiradoras lições de vida e de amor e compreensão pelos homens - fábulas modernas de excitante enredo, que conduzem o leitor a um mais profundo conhecimento de si mesmo, de semelhante e do mundo em geral, dos alvores do primeiro século à época contemporânea.
O Lobo da Estepe
Hermann Hesse
O lobo da estepe conta a história de Harry Haller, um homem de 50 anos que acredita que sua integridade depende da vida solitária que leva em meio às palavras de Goethe e às partituras de Mozart; um intelectual tentando equilibrar-se à beira do abismo dos problemas sociais e individuais, ante os quais sua personalidade se torna cada vez mais ambivalente e, por fim, estilhaçada.
A primeira parte do livro é o pesadelo do lobo Haller, sua depressão e sua incapacidade de se comunicar que está na base da crueldade e da destruição. Na segunda, o lobo se humaniza, através da entrada em cena de Hermínia, que tenta reaproximá-lo do mundo, no caso uma comunidade simplória, com salas de baile poeirentas e bares pobres.
O lobo da estepe foi escrito quando Hesse tinha 50 anos, como seu personagem, e estava profundamente influenciado pela psicanálise. O estilo adotado, altamente revolucionário para a época, foi elogiado por Thomas Mann, para quem, como novela experimental, O lobo da estepe era tão genial quanto Ulisses, de James Joyce.
O Lobo das Estepes
Hermann Hesse
Harry Haller é o Lobo das Estepes: selvagem, estranho, tímido e alienado da sociedade.
O seu desespero e desejo pela morte atraem-no para um submundo encantado e sombrio.
Através de uma série de encontros obscuros – alternadamente românticos, bizarros e selvagens -, o misantropo Haller começa gradualmente a redescobrir os sonhos perdidos da sua juventude.
Este retrato acelerado de um homem que se sente ele próprio meio-humano, meio-lobo tornou-se a bíblia da contracultura da década de 1960, capturando o humor de uma geração descontente e continua, até hoje, a ser uma história de alienação e redenção humana.

Peter Camenzind
Hermann Hesse
Peter Camenzind, a young man from a Swiss mountain village, leaves his home and eagerly takes to the road in search of new experience. Traveling through Italy and France, Camenzind is increasingly disillusioned by the suffering he discovers around him; after failed romances and a tragic friendship, his idealism fades into crushing hopelessness. He finds peace again only when he cares for Boppi, an invalid who renews Camenzind's love for humanity and inspires him once again to find joy in the smallest details of every life.
Piccole gioie
Hermann Hesse
Piccole gioie è una raccolta di brevi prose di Hermann Resse, ordinate cronologicamente: dalle riflessioni del 1899, che danno il titolo al volume, fino a "Quarant′anni a Montagnola", scritto nel 1960, due anni prima della sua morte. Il libro si presenta come una carrellata sulla vita di Hermann Hesse, spirito sensibile ai problemi del tempo, pellegrino sulla via della crisi. Questi scritti, ricchi di motivi spesso quotidiani e poco appariscenti: riflessioni in giardino o al ristorante, reportage di viaggi in Italia, in India e a Sumatra, ragionamenti sulla pittura che tanto amava, descrizioni dense di simboli, di echi romantici e di toni moderni ci conducono in tutti i luoghi della sua vita. Le "Piccole gioie" nascono spontaneamente dall′esperienza o da un′opinione immediata, fissano accadimenti e immagini che sono comuni a tutti, e testimoniano la partecipazione alla vita dell′ultimo grande scrittore romantico, assiduo ammiratore di Novalis e di Eichendorff.
Poems
Hermann Hesse
This volume, the first edition in English of Hermann Hesse's poetry, begins to correct an unexplainable oversight. For if the author of Narcissus and Goldmund and The Journey to the East had never written a single novel, his poems alone would have established him as a distinctly eloquent voice.
James Wright, himself increasingly recognized as one of the finest poets writing today, has selected and translated thirty-one poems from Die Gedichte (Collected Poems). The results make it plain that the burden of Hesse's songs, and his songfulness, is genuinely congenial to Wright.
"Poetry is what is lost in translation." Here is one collaboration that transcends that maxim.

Siddhartha's Brain: Unlocking the Ancient Science of Enlightenment
Hermann Hesse
Guardian science editor James Kingsland unlocks the ancient science of enlightenment through the journey of Siddhartha—better known as Buddha.In a lush grove on the banks of the Neranjara in northern India—400 years before the birth of Christ, when the foundations of western science and philosophy were being laid by the great minds of Ancient Greece—a prince turned ascetic wanderer sat beneath a fig tree. His name was Siddhartha Gautama, and he was discovering the astonishing capabilities of the human brain and the secrets of mental wellness and spiritual “enlightenment”—the foundation of Buddhism.Framed by the historical journey and teachings of the Buddha, Siddhartha’s Brain shows how meditative and Buddhist practice anticipated the findings of modern neuroscience. Moving from the evolutionary history of the brain to the disorders and neuroses associated with our technology-driven world, James Kingsland explains why the ancient practice of mindfulness has been so beneficial and so important for human beings across time. Far from a New Age fad, the principles of meditation have deep scientific support and have been proven to be effective in combating many contemporary psychiatric disorders. Siddhartha posited that “Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.” As we are increasingly driven to distraction by competing demands, our ability to focus and control our thoughts has never been more challenged—or more vital.Siddhartha’s Brain offers a cutting-edge, big-picture assessment of meditation and how it works, what it does to our brains, and why meditative practice has never been more important.

Steppenwolf
Hermann Hesse
Steppenwolf is a poetical self-portrait of a man who felt himself to be half-human and half-wolf. This Faust-like and magical story is evidence of Hesse's searching philosophy and extraordinary sense of humanity as he tells of the humanization of a middle-aged misanthrope. Yet his novel can also be seen as a plea for rigorous self-examination and an indictment of the intellectual hypocrisy of the period. As Hesse himself remarked, "Of all my books Steppenwolf is the one that was more often and more violently misunderstood than any of the others".
Steppeulven
Hermann Hesse
Nobelprisen i litteratur ble i 1946 tildelt Hermann Hesse "for hans inspirerte skrivekunst som på en dristig og gjennomtrengende måte eksemplifiserer de klassiske humanistiske idealene, samtidig som det er framført med stor stilsikkerhet". Steppeulven (1927) er kanskje Hesses mest nyskapende roman, en psykologisk studie av en femtiårings krise, som belyser en hel generasjons nevrose i tiden etter første verdenskrig. Beskrivelsen av den moderne dikteren og "steppeulven" Harry Hallers forhold til samtidens mekaniserte verden, viser til tidens egen sykdom. I Harry Haller-skikkelsen blir den smertefulle motsetningen mellom legeme og ånd, mellom drift og tanke gjort levende. Men Hesse viser også at det over "steppeulven" og hans vanskeligheter finnes en annen høyere og uforgjengelig verden.
Hermann Hesse (1877–1962) var født i Sør-Tyskland, men flyttet i 1914 til Bern og ble sveitsisk statsborger i 1923. I 1911 besøkte han India, og han skulle etter dette føle seg mer tiltrukket av Østens mystikk enn av Vestens materialisme. Denne fascinasjonen ligger nedfelt i de fleste verkene hans, som f.eks. Siddhartha, Narsiss og Gullmunn og Glassperlespillet.
Stufen: Ausgewählte Gedichte
Hermann Hesse
Diese Gedichtauswahl, vom Autor ein Jahr vor seinem Tode besorgt, ist letztgültig. Sie umfaßt etwa ein Fünftel seines gesamten lyrischen CEuvres. Über Hesses Gedichte schrieb Max Herrmann-Neiße: "Von der vielen Lyrik, die ich las, talentierter und hoffnungslos unbegabter, epigonenhafter, chansonkesser, düsterer und gläubiger, freiwillig und unfreiwillig heiterer, ist Hesses Lyrik diejenige, die am klarsten und zuverlässigsten Menschliches künstlerisch, Künstlerisches menschlich gibt. Man kann ihr nur im Tone herzlicher Verehrung und Zuneigung seinen Dank bekunden."
The Fairy Tales of Hermann Hesse
Hermann Hesse
To read Hermann Hesse's fairy tales is to enter a fabulous world of dreams and visions, philosophy and passion. This landmark collection contains twenty-two of Hesse's finest stories in this genre, most translated into English here for the first time. Full of visionaries and seekers, princesses and wandering poets, his fairy tales speak to the place in our psyche that inspires us with deep spiritual longing; that compels us to leave home, and inevitably to return; and that harbors the greatest joys and most devastating wounds of our heart.
Containing all the themes common in Hesse's great novels Siddhartha, Steppenwolf, and Demian—and mirroring events in his own life, these exquisite short pieces exhibit the same mystical and romantic impulses that contribute to the haunting brilliance of his major works. Several stories, including "The Poet," "The Fairy Tale About the Wicker Chair," and "The Painter," examine the dilemma of the artist, torn between the drive for perfection and the temptations of pleasure and social success. Other tales reflect changes and struggles within society: in "Faldum," a city is irrevocably transformed when each resident is granted his or her fondest wish; in "Strange News from Another Planet," "If the War Continues," and "The European," nightmarish landscapes convey Hesse's devastating critiques of nationalism, barbarism, and war.
Illuminating and inspiring, The Fairy Tales of Hermann Hesse will challenge and enchant readers of all ages. A distinguished and historic publication, this fine translation by Jack Zipes captures their subtlety and elegance for decades nto come.
The Glass Bead Game
Hermann Hesse
The final novel of Hermann Hesse, The Glass Bead Game is a fascinating tale of the complexity of modern life as well as a classic of modern literature.
Set in the twenty-third century, The Glass Bead Game is the story of Joseph Knecht, who has been raised in Castalia, the remote place his society has provided for the intellectual elite to grow and flourish. Since childhood, Knecht has been consumed with mastering the Glass Bead Game, which requires a synthesis of aesthetics and philosophy, which he achieves in adulthood, becoming a Magister Ludi (Master of the Game).
The Journey to the East
Hermann Hesse
"It was destiny that gave me that fabulous adventure. I participated in that unique journey, whose miraculous incidents shone like meteors. Today I want to try the short and concise description of that incredible odyssey." Novelist and poet, Hermann Hesse (1877-1962), based his work on the search for individual spirituality and felt throughout his life a great attraction to Buddhism and India. In 1946 he received the Nobel Prize for literature.
The Prodigy
Hermann Hesse
In Hermann Hesse's Beneath the Wheel or The Prodigy, Hans Giebenrath lives among the dull and respectable townsfolk of a sleepy Black Forest village. When he is discovered to be an exceptionally gifted student, the entire community presses him onto a path of serious scholarship. Hans dutifully follows the regimen of tireless study and endless examinations, his success rewarded only with more crushing assignments. When Hans befriends a rebellious young poet, he begins to imagine other possibilities outside the narrowly circumscribed world of the academy. Finally sent home after a nervous breakdown, Hans is revived by nature and romance, and vows never to return to the gray conformity of the academic system.

Yet this novel can also be seen as a plea for rigorous self-examination and an indictment of the intellectual hypocrisy of the period.

Über das Glück: Betrachtungen und Gedichte
Hermann Hesse
Was ist Glück? Dem Sinn dieses Wortes, das er auch für seinen Klang liebte, hat Hermann Hesse zeitlebens nachgespürt. Was er selbst als beglückend empfand, war selten materieller Natur – tiefste Quelle des Glücks waren ihm die Eindrücke, die wir der Empfänglichkeit unserer Sinnesorgane verdanken, der Fähigkeit, uns zu verlieben und hinzugeben, dem Erlebnis des Einklangs der Innen- mit der Außenwelt.
Una biblioteca della letteratura universale
Hermann Hesse
Per molti il mondo dei libri è una foresta ostile, troppo folta. Sentono che lì si celano quelle pagine che sarebbero per loro preziose, ma disperano di trovarle. Per questo essi vorrebbero essere guidati fra i libri. Ma pochissimi sanno essere loro d’aiuto: nei saggi qui raccolti dimostra di aver avuto in grado eminente quel dono Hermann Hesse, uno scrittore che continua a farsi amare da schiere di lettori e, oltre tutto, uno scrittore che aveva «letto tutti i libri». Con mano ferma e gesto intimamente gentile, Hesse introduce in questi suoi saggi alla «magia del libro». Spiega con limpidezza che cosa significhi incontrare un libro – evento che può essere non meno complicato e fatale dell’incontro con una persona. E ci aiuta, con discrezione e precisione, nel passo più delicato: la formazione della nostra biblioteca. Consiglia i testi inevitabili, ma con poche parole che ci rendono subito evidente perché dobbiamo conoscerli; e ci consiglia anche libri più segreti, che però per lui sono stati decisivi – invitando così ogni lettore a scoprire la propria fisionomia nella biblioteca che a poco a poco si costruisce. Il lettore che voglia iniziarsi all’arte sottile di scegliere i libri per sé troverà qui le indicazioni di un amico sapiente e del tutto privo di quel sussiego che molti ancora associano con la cultura. Alla fine non vedrà più i libri come un’angosciosa, sopraffacente molteplicità: «da innumerevoli lingue e libri di tanti millenni, da questo mostro mitologico dalle mille teste, quella di cui il lettore, nei suoi momenti di grazia, avverte su di sé lo sguardo è una chimera strana, sublime, più che reale: è il sembiante dell’uomo, da mille tratti contraddittori magicamente ricomposto». I saggi che compongono Una biblioteca della letteratura universale sono stati scritti tra il 1907 e il 1945.
Unterm Rad
Hermann Hesse
Zu den wichtigsten Frühwerken Hermann Hesses gehört sein Schulroman Unterm Rad über das Schicksal eines begabten Kindes, das am Erwartungsdruck seines Vaters und der Umwelt zerbricht. Hesse hat darin viel von dem verarbeitet, was er selbst erleben mußte. So glaubten seine Erzieher, den 14jährigen in einer Heilanstalt für Schwachsinnige und Epileptische unterbringen zu müssen. Es war der Leidensdruck dieser frühen Erfahrungen, der ihn zum Schriftsteller gemacht hat und dem auch seine späteren Werke ihre Brisanz und zeitlose Aktualität verdanken. Wie kein anderes Werk des Dichters hat dieses Buch eine genau dokumentierbare Vorgeschichte, die hier erstmals in allen überlieferten Lebenszeugnissen vorgestellt wird und ein authentisches Bild der Pädagogik vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts entwirft.
Viaje al Oriente
Hermann Hesse
Un escritor se afilia a un misterioso grupo entre cuyas actividades se encuentra una a la que llaman ''viaje al Oriente''.
En este viaje simbólico, los participantes marchan por distintos lugares, dándoles nombres simbólicos y fantásticos, constituyendo para ellos una parte de su aprendizaje en la búsqueda de la Verdad.
El que realiza el viaje debe mantener una fe total por el Círculo y vencer diversas tentaciones.
Wandering
Hermann Hesse
On May 2, 1919, Hesse wrote to Romain Rolland: "I have had to bear a very heavy burden in my personal life in recent years. Now I am about to go to Ticino once again, to live for a while as a hermit in nature and in my work." In 1920, after settling in the Ticino mountain village of Montagnola, he published Wandering, a love letter to this magic-garden world that can be read as a meditation on his attempt to begin a new life. His pure prose, his heartfelt lyricism, and his love for the old earth, for its blessings that renew themselves, all sing in this serene book.
The first German edition of Wandering included facsimiles of fourteen watercolor landscapes. Hesse's painting had blossomed in the southern countryside and he even toyed with the idea "that I might still succeed in escaping literature entirely and making a living at the more appealing trade of painter." Unfortunately, his original pictures for Wandering have disappeared; this edition reproduces in black-and-white the full-color reproductions of the 1920 edition.
Wilk stepowy
Hermann Hesse
Najsławniejsza powieść Hermanna Hessego wyrasta z atmosfery lat dwudziestych, z kryzysu wartości, jaki dotknął Europę między dwiema wojnami, a także z ówczesnej fascynacji psychoanalizą i jazzem. Do dziś jednak "Wilk stepowy" nie stracił na aktualności; czytelniczy renesans tej książki rozpoczął się w latach sześćdziesiątych, kiedy to w Stanach Zjednoczonych zafascynowała pokolenie późniejszych hippisów i stała się wielkim bestsellerem. Zapis przeżyć osamotnionego artysty, Harry'ego Hallera, frapuje obrazem natury ludzkiej, wizją obecnych w każdym z nas skrajności i sprzeczności - a także narracją, która balansuje na granicy rzeczywistości i narkotycznej wizji. I właśnie wielość persektyw i wieloznaczna konstrukcja stanowi o jakości literackiej "Wilka stepowego", którego Tomasz Mann porównywał z "Fałszerzami" Gide'a i "Ulissesem" Joyce'a.
