About the author

Hermann Hesse

1,798 books19.6k followers
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.

El arte muestra nuevos rostros, nuevas lenguas, nuevos gestos y sonidos balbucientes; harto está de seguir hablando el lenguaje de ayer y anteayer, quiere bailar, por una vez quiere pasarse de la raya, por una vez quiere ladearse el sombrero y andar en zig-zag.

Lo mucho que disfruto a Hesse ❤

Después de estudiar español por un año, intento leer libros fáciles. Este libro es una buena elección porque tiene párrafos cortos. Puedo aprender muchas palabras nuevas y no me aburro.

Pensament esparsos. De distintes obres. Però que segueixen un fil comú (i a estones aparentment contradictori).

Em quede sobretot en la defensa de la vida íntima i la construcció de la pròpia personalitat durant la joventut. I amb la capacitat durant la maduresa d'amar i sacrificar la personalitat bastida.

Maravilloso compendio de fragmentos y aforismos de Hesse. Algunos más acertados que otros, pero los que lo son bien se merecen una reflexión que duraría una vida.

Great thoughts, but the way they are presented is, in my opinion, not very good. Maybe would be better to have them in their context, and instead of a list of aphorisms we could have an analysis or explanation of Hesse's mindset in his historical time.

Excelente recopilación de los pensamientos de Hesse a través de fragmentos cortos de sus novelas, ensayos y distintos temas sobre distintos temas. Resalté casi todas las hojas, jeje.
