Hermann Hesse

1,844 books20.1k 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.

,… der luxuriöse Müßiggang der Sorglosen, die auch eine >>Bagatelle wie der Krieg<< nicht von ihren Vergnügen abhalten konnte… wo sie zwischen Felsen und Schneebergen ihre Arroganz und Eleganz spazieren führen‘

‚Im Dahinfahren durch den weißen Bergwinter, tausend Meter über dem gewohnten Leben, vergißt man alles, was des Vergessens wert ist, und reitet sausend talab, aus dem Gipfelglanz und der Sonnenwärme der Höhe in die strenge Kühle des totenstillen Bergtales hinunter. Der Geist der Berge geht mit, der große Tröster -

Und manchmal, wenn ich im Herzen litt,
Ging er auf Gletscherwegen leise mit
Und legte gütig seine kühle Hand
Auf meine Stirne, bis ich Frieden fand.‘

Das Engadin ward auch besucht von Nietzsche, Proust, Zweig, und Mann.

Toll mehr über das Tal zu erfahren aus den letzten 100 Jahren. Zum Teil repetitiv. Schöne Sprache.
