Bonne introduction à Hermann Hesse, ça m'a vraiment donné envie de lire davantage cet auteur en tant que fan de Népal aussi. Il y a du bon, du très très bon et du moins bien, comme le journal de bord qui est un enfer.
J'adore sa manière de décrire l'environnement des personnages, on a juste envie d'être dans le jardin de Néander.
Sa spiritualité est très ancrée dans ses textes, avec des personnages qui cherchent le salut intérieur quitte à sacrifier leur vie confortable ou les plaisirs de la vie (art, musique, etc.). D'autres personnages sont à l'opposé, ce qui crée une dualité intéressante, à mon avis.
Voilà, cool, ça donne envie de lire plus.
