Tre racconti nei quali emerge il tipico eroe di Hesse, "portatore del senso unitario della vita, vagabondo, viandante, anarchico che distrugge i valori codificati per spianare la strada verso altri". Tre storie nelle quali i protagonisti giungeranno alla fine a trovare il proprio posto nell'armonia dell'universo.

Many works, including Siddhartha (1922) and Steppenwolf (1927), of German-born Swiss writer Hermann Hesse concern the struggle of the individual to find wholeness and meaning in life; he won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1946.

Other best-known works of this poet, novelist, and painter include 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.

Ora io dovrei scrivere qualcosa o almeno tentarvi.
Non lo farò.

Riporto solo ciò che ho detto girata l’ultima pagina:

In questa raccolta di tre racconti Hermann Hesse è riuscito a far confluire i temi di tutto il suo operato: contrapposizioni psicologiche dei personaggi, sempre presenti accanto al loro doppio, agiscono liberi, ideali e complessi su paesaggi svevi.

3.5 (più per Knulp che per gli altri racconti. Purtroppo continuo ad avere difficoltà con Hesse. Una lettura tra alti e bassi: momenti in cui mi piace moltissimo la scrittura, alternati ad altri in cui faccio fatica a mantenere la concentrazione. Può anche essere un mio problema.).
