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.

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.

"Nada era, nada será; todo es, todo tiene esencia y presente" (289)

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.

:( conjunto de artículos político-históricos que hablan de la sociedad y de cómo vivir en ella :( no es lo que buscaba, no es lo que creía

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.
