About the author

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.

[Chinara Ahmadova · Rating 3 out of 5]

Çox qısa, şirin bir novella. Qayğısız gəncliyin təsvir edildiyi bu hekayə rahat və hamar şəkildə davam edir və gözlənilən sonluqla da bitir. Çox gözlənti olmadan oxunularsa, damaqda xoş dad buraxır.

A story that captures the complexities (or simplicities) of the human spirit. Overall a lighthearted tale that is spliced by one to two lines that bring you back to the reality of the situation. I don’t even know how to describe it, but it gets 5 stars.

This book is lovely. The first part is good, but the engagement chapter was very confusing and I personally found it unnecessary. I wish there was a chapter about what happens when he returns.
